OWNER'S INSIGHTS

“We've always had our eye on the old house and when it came onto the market 24 years ago we knew it would be the perfect home for our young family. We moved in November and got the swimming pool up and running in April and don't think the kids dried up for the fall! Over the years we have created many magical memories and as time and money allowed we have made changes and modernizations to suit our tastes and requirements. Parking was essential for us with multiple family members Vehicles and boats were a huge benefit. Time has passed, the kids have flown from the nest and we feel now is the right time to downsize while making lifestyle changes. It will certainly be a sad day when we close the door for the last time."
