After six years of shuttling between a rented farmhouse in Foxborough and their hometown of Fort Worth, Texas, New England Patriots offensive tackle Marcus Cannon and his wife, Alyssa, decided to it was time to buy in Massachusetts. “With our daughter starting kindergarten, we needed stability,’’ Alyssa says of Mady, now 6.
Following the team’s fifth Super Bowl win, in 2017, the Cannons closed on a five-bedroom house in Wrentham, down the road from Gillette Stadium. Then the college sweethearts and their children, Mady and M. J., now 4, took off for vacation, leaving Walpole-based designer Kelly McGuill to pull off a complete transformation.
