Welcome to your new home at 19 John Goy Senior Trail. You’re so excited that you purchased this bungalow townhouse which offers maintenance free condominium living. That is perfect because you love to travel and are just tired of gardening, cutting grass and shoveling snow.  At 933 square feet this bungalow is a great size and you’re happy that you purchased it from the original owners. They opted for a front room in place of the 2 bedroom layout, however, the front room can easily be made back into the original bedroom should you choose.

It’s your first day at the house after moving in yesterday and as you were driving through the quite town of Acton to get home you noticed that you left the busyness behind. The quaint downtown reminds you of how simple life used to be when you were a child. As you drove to the north end of town and turned onto Wallace Street, you noticed that this area is a bit newer at only approximately 10-20 years old. The few crescents and courts mean there is only local traffic with a more mature demographic occupying the area and that’s exactly what you’re looking for.

As you enter the Arbour Lane community you see some of your neighbours out enjoying the community gazebo as they socialize and share stories. With a majority of the community being retired many conversations lead to winter destinations. You’re excited to meet your neighbours and share in some of the discussion and best places to travel.

Pulling up to your new home the single driveway leads to your garage which can house your car, has plenty of storage and room for a work bench and fridge.

Your front porch offers room for a chair to sit and enjoy the morning sun and converse with your new neighbours.

Opening the front door you’re greeted by a good sized foyer. The maple hardwood floors lead you into the front room/2nd bedroom (should you prefer) and flow through to the heart of the home. The upgraded kitchen offers beautiful off white cabinets with pullouts in almost every cupboard, maximizing the use of the space and making it easier to access items in lower cabinets. The stone counters add the next level of elegance to the large island which includes a large double sink and sit up breakfast bar. The stainless steel appliances with built in wall oven and induction cook top are yet another added bonus. No more bending over to get pull out the turkey or accidentally burning the oven mitts on the stove. Completing this space is the large solar tube which brings a ton of natural light into the middle of the home.

Off the kitchen, the maple hardwood continues into the combined living/dining room which leads to the large back patio doors.

Being a bungalow the primary bedroom is on the main floor and offers a large window, a double wide closet and room enough for a king sized bed.

The well appointed main bathroom is just beside the bedroom and offers a large upgraded vanity, walk-in shower, a second solar tub and heated floors to keep your toes warm.

For added living space, the basement is finished. The stairway features a beautiful accent wall which is an art piece of its own and will be the topic of conversation  countless times over.

The lower level offers a 4 piece washroom including a bathtub and shower combination.

The large family room or rec room is a great place to enjoy a movie or watch the game. It’s also likely the go-to place for the grand children when they come to visit.

The extra bedroom can be just that, or a craft or workout room. The choice is yours.

One of your fears when downsizing was where to put your stuff that you would be keeping. The front half the basement is unfinished and perfect for all your storage needs.

Moving back upstairs, we walk to the back patio door and slide it open. Stepping on to your private deck the warm sun hits your face and your patio couch invites you to sit and listen to the birds while reading a book. You glace over to the patio table just a couple steps down and remember that later that afternoon you’ll be having family over and you’ve decided that eating outside. It’s such a beautiful day not to enjoy the outdoors.

You sit down on the couch and just before opening your book you admire the flowers and manicured lawn and are reminded that you didn’t have to do a thing and its all included in your condo fees.

This chapter of your life is even better than you’d imagined.
