Nicholas Sparks’s sprawling house in New Bern, N.C., didn’t at all times seem like a museum.
For near 10 years, the three-story, riverfront home was overrun with the writer’s 5 youngsters, who threw footballs in the lounge and accomplished their homework on the now totally dressed eating room desk custom-built for 10.
“It was an energetic, busy family for a very long time,” Mr. Sparks stated. “At one level, there have been 4 canines and about 13 individuals dwelling right here — myself, my now ex-wife, our 5 youngsters, an change pupil, and mates.”
