This has been our home since literally Day 1 in the Woodbine Park community. Sally and I walked in the door to the sales centre at Woodbine and Queen at 5:15 pm, 15 minutes before the doors officially opened, so we could get the most southerly (at the time) lot.
When we moved in in October of 1998 we had a perfectly clear view of the lake... for about three months. Then more homes were built all around us. That process continued for the next 4-5 years as the project was built out including condo buildings along Queen and two on Boardwalk backing onto Lakeshore. The final townhouses and semis are now being built along Woodbine and Lakeshore.
118 Boardwalk has been a tremendous home for our family. Our son Rylie was about 6 years old when we moved in and our dog didn't even exist :). We've had lots of great family dinners, get togethers with friends and BBQ's in the back yard with clients.
Now however it's time to move on. Rylie just has 2 years of high school left and we're building the cottage of our dreams up on Stoney Lake north-east of Peterborough and Lakefield. We used to have our real estate Team working from our basement but in 2006 we moved to our new office on Kingston Road just east of Woodbine.
Sally used her considerable design skills to renovate much of the house in the past two years. We have completely new kitchen cabinets and granite countertops, new hardwood flooring and many other upgrades (see LIST of Upgrades/Improvements).
Since we were one of the first dozen families to move in to the neighbourhood, we were able to get several concessions from the builder that no one else was able to. Our basement has a rear walk-out to the backyard and is completely finished with large 2-piece bath (easily remodeled to a 4-piece if required) and a cold room (another rarity no other Woodbine Park homeowner has)! This area is perfect for a family rec room, as a home office or as a nanny quarters or inlaw suite.
The three main floors have a total of 2,465 sq ft of living space.
