In spite of all the rain we’ve had this year, this basement has been dry! Weeping tiles and backflow valve and sump pump were added in the 1990s with no issues since. Brick foundation was checked out by engineer when they bought in 1993 and was reinforced in 2009. New electrical in 2019.

There is a gas dryer in this laundry area.

This hobby room in the basement was once a dark room. Large trough sink and lots of cabinets for storage.

Single garage provides plenty of storage for more than just your vehicle.

Such a serene garden!

There is a dead end at the back of the alley.

So many people live here not because they have to, but because they want to! I used to live and work in this area when I was a teacher many years ago, and it still holds the same attraction now as it did back then. You simply don’t experience the same feeling in a newer subdivision. There’s a real sense of community here.

Here, you are surrounded by the beauty of the river valley, yet a quick walking or biking distance to just about everything!
