When a couple with dreams of buying a fixer-upper found a 19th-century farmhouse for sale in Pennsylvania, they knew it was their ideal project. They devoted five years to the massive restoration, and today, the 31-acre property is unrecognizable.

Married 37 years, New Jersey natives DeWitt Paul, 58, and his wife, Jean Paul, have lived all over the world. They have four children living in four different states and eight beloved grandchildren. With a branch of their orthotics business, Foot Solutions, in Easton, Pennsylvania, their interest was piqued when they found a farmhouse for sale in 2018 in nearby Saylorsburg.
