HOMES
Amanda and Clint Keffer
knew they'd found " the
one " with their new home
in Southeast.
W
hile the front porch serves as
a high traffic place of function
for most homes, it is
also chief focal point for curb
appeal, not only accounting

says, " I always say, 'Look at where the singleborrower
buyers are going.' And that's what's
happening in Southeast. "
Also a contractor, Stone was working on a
handful of houses in the area at the time, and
