After 8 months of searching, the Murphy family has seen its fare share of Murphy's Law at work on their house hunt. Now, with their lease set to expire, they're desperate to find a home in scenic West Hartford as soon as possible. She wants a historic charmer, but he's concerned about the upkeep. She wants to find a home within walking distance of the quaint shops and restaurants downtown, but he wants to live farther out on a large lot.
