A lovely home and a nice place to live indeed. And it seems to be fairly close to DC!
Yes, many of us have such a home. Often this is the parent's place, but in many cases it is not. Unfortunately, too many families in Russia are not "full" famiiles, the reason often being that the parents divorced. This is probably one of the reasons for grandparents being so important: they care for kids in families and grow them up while a parent or both of them go to work. The grandparents home is then often the place where you rest and where you are always welcome, even as they stil try to care and direct you too much when you are no longer a kid.
