At least this is what Andrea and Daren Granger did when they were determined to find the perfect home for their new family in Warsaw, IN. Despite their realtor begging the young couple not to look at the outdated house that had stood vacant for over a year, Andrea and Daren knew they had to see it. When they first walked in, it wasn?t the foyer?s orange woven blinds or the unpleasant brown carpet that caught their attention. Andrea and Daren saw beyond the ugly and outdated, and were struck by the vaulted ceiling, full-height windows, upstairs catwalk and numerous other stunning architectural details.
