Seller Story: The Dzwill Family
Meet the Dzwill family and take a stroll through their warm and welcoming home in Medford, New Jersey. Steffie, crafty decorator and mother, and Ted, home builder and handyman father, designed their dream home to host their five adult children and their growing families. Stephen, Paul, Edward, Eileen and Michael created many memories in the home, which was an escape and party venue for family and friends. Over the years the house gathered treasures, from records, Barbie dolls, fashion accessories to Disney memorabilia and vintage decor. Steffie and Ted were happy to be the curators of everyone’s experiences and collections.
As Eileen, Michael and the other siblings and grandchildren made the tough choice to downsize and move forward, they found joy in the memories as they sorted belongings. The family took pleasure in the knowledge that so many items would find a new place in someone’s life. Eileen reflects on the process, “this has been a happy cathartic experience for me, especially parting with my engagement ring and wedding band. It is time to let go and move on.”
Older brother, Stephen, introduced a young Eileen to Elton John, the singer songwriter became a musical obsession. Eileen’s extensive record collection was only surpassed by her many scrapbooks and fan magazines. Her first live concert was a Monkees concert and she attended many Elton John concerts, which were nothing short of spectacular!
