"As a Finn, I had the strange sensation of coming home when I bought this Finnish home in 1988," says Jerry. "I've since remodeled the inside to match the traditional cottage exterior. Using a Neighborhood Revitalization Program loan, I expanded the attic and created a spacious bedroom with three skylights. I love to cook, so I've enlarged and updated the kitchen. Also, I've added an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and built a sauna in the basement (the original Finn homeowner would be overjoyed). The Corcoran neighborhood has amazing diversity and I invite you to visit my own "little Finland!"
