Welcome to the Delightful Penikas Family: Sarah, Jim and 1 year old Addie!
Grant Avenue

Jim is a software developer and Sarah purchases reinsurance for a local insurance company. Jim also serves on the board for the German Village Society.

Back in 2011, we were looking to live in a walkable area of Columbus while still having a yard for our dog. We had friends in German Village and were lucky enough to find a great rental near Schiller Park. After renting for a couple years and getting more acquainted with the neighborhood, we purchased our current home which we have been in for almost nine years.

We enjoy the close community within German Village. Addie is lucky to have many “aunts” and “uncles” within the neighborhood.

Addie attends daycare downtown. It’s close enough to walk to when the weather is nice which is great.

Addie loves to go on walks in the neighborhood, play on the slides at Schiller Park (usually going down headfirst!), and climb up the stairs repeatedly at home. She is a foodie like mom and dad and has a stand in the kitchen so she can help us cook dinner.
