About the host
Hosted by Kate The Great
Hey there! Single mom, entrepreneur, small business owner and landlord. I basically do it all - but always find time for fun. I'm a native to GR so if you want to know some of the town's gems, whether for a fun night out or something for the fam, please reach out. I rely heavily on communication and have put my all into making this house feel like a home for you - so if something is up or not meeting your expectations, please never hesitate to reach out. You will find I am definitely the "hostess with the mostess". I'm all about you having fun in a safe and cozy environment in one of the best neighborhoods GR has to offer!
Why they chose this property
I bought this house the first year of my son's life (now 14) and raised him here because I was obsessed with this neighborhood! I wanted to be in the city but also find a safe place to land that doesn't get too rowdy. This house was completely abandoned and stuck out like a sore thumb in the Riverside Gardens neighborhood. Over the years, I have continued to give this house the love it deserves and I hope you can appreciate it's history, charm and swag.
What makes this property unique
This is the perfect place to hangout and get ready for a night on the town. It's comfortable and stylish and I have gone beyond to add ammenities. This is one of the best neighborhoods in GR!
