For the Broaddus family, their purchase of 657 Boulevard in Westfield, New Jersey, was their dream come true.

Just a short, 45 minute drive to New York City, Derek and Maria were keen to refurbish the classic décor and move in with their three children after purchasing 657 Boulevard for a cool $1.4 million in 2014.
