Someone turned the light on .. it’s way down at the end of the tunnel … but we can certainly see it from here.

It’s funny how things change… when I was called to talk to the people about helping them sell this house I knw it right away.

For the 5 years I spent in highschool I walked right past it probably 8 times a week.  A class mate lived 3 doors up and my dentist lived across the street. These were big homes.

This was a RAELLY nice street in Cobourg.  And it still is … Rankin Blvd. is a classic street scape in the central part of small town Ontario.  An easy walk to the beach, downtown and schools – this is a place that anyone looking for the quiet life in a small town could fall in love with.

What’s changed is the picture we have in our heads about what a “big” home is.

As I walked past on the way to my home … and we were comfortably middle class … I used to wonder what it would be like to live in a home such as these.

Turn the clock ahead more years than I’d like to admit and this home has shrunk !!!

It’s now a great place for a young family or a perfect retirement home.

Neat as a pin, solid construction, well loved and cared for over the years.
