If you’ve been dreaming of hardwood flooring in your home, now is the time to make it happen. Then sit back and enjoy the natural beauty of that floor for many years to come.

“Can anything call up to the imagination a more delightful vision than the privacy of a lovely garden, where, amidst trees, flowers, and shrubs, and secluded from the vulgar gaze, one may pass his leisure hours surrounded by the beauties of nature and the society of one’s family and intimate friends?”

“It’s custom made for the homeowner like a fine-tailored suit right down to the tiniest details.”

In such a lovely setting, in such a grand home, treasured family traditions will surely continue for generations to come.

The imposing brick and mortar exterior has graciously sheltered many over the years, but to fully appreciate all of what this historic building offers its current residents, we have to consider its roots.

It was a long journey marked by the triumphs and challenges that come with a major renovation, but Ann and Mike, a busy couple from Amherst, New York, kept their eyes on the prize: a wonderfully welcoming home where they will host family and friends for many years to come.

Can a compromise in home goals give a couple exactly what they want as they look to retirement and downsizing? In the case of a delightful, New England cape-style home overlooking Lake Ontario, the answer is yes.
