Devon and Jeremy close on their new house in Sparks!



The house is 1250 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. It is on a cul-de-sac and has a fenced back yard for Bruiser and Newman and a large deck as well. The house is close to a park and Devon's school. With the booming Reno real estate market they feel it is a good investment and a much better living situation than being in a one bedroom apartment with two dogs and no yard!
