During the search for our new home, we literally looked at over fifty properties to find the right one. We saw home after home that was either too small or too large for our needs. we saw many more that were either too expensive, too outdatedarchitecturally uninteresting, did not pass the warm and cozy test or just needed too much work. At the risk of sounding like Goldi Locks, this house is just right for us. Access to the property and ability to depart the property when you have weather was also big consideration. Because it does suck when you have to leave, you just got three feet of snow and have no hope of the plows getting to your street any time soon. We don't have that problem, which is awesome. Also the physical access to the home is fantastic, as the street, driveway and entry are all level. Having only one step to negotiate from the driveway to the front door is a big plus when our parents or other older guests come to visit. The other biggest consideration was location relative to the places we like go and the things we like to do. Kingswood estates is very central to the entire north shore, almost everything you'll want to do on the north shore you can get to in about twenty minutes or less from our home. There really is so much that we love about our place. We love that our home has a classic mountain architecture and design. We love the high ceilings in the living room, the knotty pine and wood beams throughout the house. We love the wrap around deck, the natural sealed wood the home is built with, we love all of our new furnishings and décor, we love having a fenced in yard to keep our dogs safe ..... and we love our new hot tub. We love our time at our new home and we hope that you will love it too!!!
