50 | Oregon Home even a little under — budget. They were grateful for Renaissance Homes’ transparency when it came to cost and how nothing tripped up the team: not an extended permitting process, not the well or septic system, and not the fact that the property is all-electric with no natural gas or propane. “They knew how to do all that,” Williams says. “Nothing was an issue for them.” The end product is a handsome, 3,300-square-foot, single-level, modern farmhouse home. It’s got a circular driveway and what Sullivan calls “the biggest garage in the world,” as well as a 600-square-foot patio and tons of windows that let in natural light and frame the treed and territorial views out across their acreage. Sullivan and Williams say the home is just what they had in mind for capturing the slower-paced, rural living they were in search of after living in bustling cities and working in health care, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Their property, which they bought in 2021, boasts woods, an orchard and a pond; it’s not unusual to see bald eagles soaring past out the windows. “I had lived in Boston, New Orleans, Austin, and I got kind of tired of living downtown,” Williams says. “Part of the drive [to move out to the country] is having kind of a built-in hobby, an escape, to get away from all of that. We totally lucked into that with this property.” Even though Sullivan and Williams moved into their new home in November, they say Renaissance has never been far away. Any last-minute needs they had, they could call and someone from Renaissance Homes would be right out. And the day they officially moved in, their team from Renaissance welcomed them home. “The day we moved in, everyone who had been on our team came out,” Sullivan says. “It was so sweet and kind.” renaissance-homes.com
