Imagine nature at your doorstep. Deer outside your kitchen window. All manner of birds having breakfast at your bird feeder while you are breakfasting. Imagine the birdsong in the soft, misty summer mornings when the mist hangs low over the river.
Imagine a neighbourhood of people who say hello to each other on the streets, and stop to talk in the summer evenings. Where nearly everyone walks and bikes and strolls through streets where the air is scented like a forest. Where neighbours hold block parties and barbeques. Where neighbours swap child care and yoga lessons and the gardeners swap plants.
Imagine a gracious foyer, with ceramic tiles and spun oak railings and interior French doors. Front rooms with oak wood floors in near-new condition. Three large upstairs bedrooms, one with a fully-tiled ensuite shower. Not one but two large beautiful main-floor rooms, perfect for family time. Imagine a fully-finished basement, you won't believe how big it is!
Imagine a lot where you are more than 50 feet from your nearest neighbour on all sides, and at the back your nearest neighbour is hundreds of feet away. There's your lot, going all the way back to his private road, and then there's his lot right up to an escarpment down to the Thames River, and then there's Komoka Provincial Park, which you can see from the upstairs windows. No one will ever build up behind you.
Imagine a place where children can play outside in safety. Where street hockey has not been forgotten. Where small groups of parents wait for school buses on your street or within a block of it. Where child care is a matter of asking your neighbour. (Or, if you prefer, more formal daycare is available just on the other side of Kilworth.)
Imagine a Thames River trail just a few blocks away where the river is quiet and lazy in summer and you can launch a canoe just about anywhere. Imagine an off-leash dog park where over a dozen dog-owners get together each morning and evening while their dogs romp happily and freely. Imagine the autumn colours!

Imagine nearly an acre of space (120 x 320 feet) is filled with a 100-tree orchard at the back and mature shade trees and a cedar hedge overlooking the paving stone driveway at the front. Imagine the natural air conditioning from those shade trees in the summer, and the way the trees break the wind in the winter.
Now imagine the heating bills. Go lower. Lower! This house was insulated far ahead of its time, and the utility bills show it. Now throw in a wood stove in virtually pristine condition, set in its own floor-to-
ceiling brick hearth. Imagine, in a mild winter like last winter, never having to use the natural gas furnace at all!
Imagine all this with 5-minute access to a major city with its own international airport. Imagine no Toronto-style traffic headaches ever again. Imagine being on the first street in the neighbourhood to be plowed after each snowfall!
All this, just 10 minutes away from both the 401 and 402, and just 1 hour to the U.S. border. This place is perfect if you have a family and a travelling job, both for easy travel accessibilty and for the at-home retreat after.

This is Old Kilworth Heights. This is my house. For just $350,000, it can become your house, and your future.
Imagine it.
