Our Top Ten Favorite Charleston Houses

Our Top Ten Favorite Charleston Houses

Living in a minivan, we’ve gotten used to living with less, and we both like it a lot. When we eventually settle down, we want a tiny house, something small and simple that’s easy to take care of and doesn’t tempt us to fill it up with tons of stuff. It’s just gotta be a little bigger than a minivan…preferably something we can actually stand up in.
