Neighbors and passers-by on Main Street in Clermont recognize the Reeves family home as the one near the post office with all those little dogs running around their fenced-in yard.
Most of the family’s nine dogs were born in the stately house built in 1918, which Steve and Donna Reeves bought in the mid-1990s.
Compared with what they would have spent to build a dream house in Hiawassee, the couple joked the price — under $180,000 — seemed so good for such a spacious house on a great location with hardwood floors and sprawling yard that maybe there was something wrong with it like ghosts or something.
