Melissa's e-story: Putting Down Roots

Written by Hubspot User | Feb 16, 2024 5:12:00 PM

When Melissa Falconett left the Evansville Region 15+ years ago, she didn’t imagine returning, much less planting roots, but her passion for historic preservation drew her back to make her mark here. 

Melissa's story is one of dualities – between urban sophistication and rural tranquility, between the fast-paced world of design and the slow, steady heartbeat of her hometown. Today, Melissa divides her time between the skyscrapers of New York City and the familiar streets of Evansville, seamlessly navigating the challenges of remote work with grace and determination.

For Melissa, home isn't just a place; it's a feeling – a sense of belonging, authenticity, and connection to something larger than oneself. While her career may take her to the concrete jungle where dreams are made, Evansville remains her anchor, a place where she can find peace, respite, and a deep sense of community. That’s why when the opportunity presented itself for Melissa to purchase and restore a historic home in Haynie’s Corner, she dove in headfirst! Now her historic pink gem, channels her creativity and love for design to infuse the house with her own unique flair while honoring its storied past.
