Name: Kristi Dammann, my husband Kyle Dammann, our dog Henry Location: Minneapolis, Minnesota Size: 1100 square feet Years lived in: 3 years, owned We bought this house during a housing boom in Minneapolis when houses were flying off the market. For some reason our house had sat on the market for months. It was built in 1949 and only had one owner before us. We wanted something that needed work so we could put our own stamp on it but not something that needed a lot of structural work.
