Taylor, 31, is a destination wedding photographer who lives in Detroit with her husband and two dogs.
In the fall of 2023, Taylor and her family were living in a condo that they loved. They knew they would buy a bigger property someday, but they weren’t in a rush. Then the algorithmic fates stepped in when Taylor spotted a historic home on Zillow that was a little over 3,500 square feet and built in the 1920s.
“It wasn’t too far from where we were in Detroit,” she told Business Insider of the house. “It’s in a historic neighborhood in the city.”
Since the four-bedroom house was nearby, Taylor and her husband decided to take a look, driving by it before setting up an actual tour. For Taylor, it was love at first sight.
“The moment we drove up, I just had a good gut feeling about it,” she said. She fell even more in love when they saw the interior layout.
Taylor and her husband put in an offer, and soon, the house was theirs.
