Monday Morning Millionaire: Can Modern Design Be Warm And Inviting? It is at 4130 Cochran Chapel

By Candy Evans | June 16, 2012 |

This ranch sure caught my eye back in January, when I almost whipped out my checkbook to buy it for Valentine’s Day. Now it’s Father’s Day and thankfully, still on the market. Truth be told, the photos on line simply do not do it justice. This is ranch country, baby, Celina. (The town of Celina, here, is adorable, by the way.)
