Summary

Buying fifteen houses over forty years isn't normal; Lisa Watts knows this. Sure, some of her moves were for jobs, but others were about pure infatuation. In this candid, often funny memoir, Watts revisits her relationships with bungalows, Colonials, two getaway houses, and an American Foursquare she adored with inexplicable passion. From newlywed life in Boston to raising kids in college towns, she invites us along on a tour to meet the places she made home and the longing behind a life on the move. Curb Appeal: Forty Years of Falling for Houses and Finding Home is more than a real estate memoir. It's a love story about houses, a long marriage, the pull of fresh starts, and how the journey becomes its own kind of home.
