Open House Alert! 152 Greencastle

I just love this drawing!  The artist sent this over yesterday and I keep going back to it, over and over. It captures the sweetness of the house, the charm of the area.

The home is 152 Greencastle in the Annesgrove community in Camillus.  It's a ranch with a partially finished basement.  The HOA maintains the green spaces and common areas, plows and mows for the residents.  The community was developed in the early 2000s and has grown up the hillside.  I've sold several homes in there, worked with a few couples to build, and leased this one out many times.  The owners now want to sell it.

I will hold it open on Sunday, June 18th from 12:00 to 2:00.  The price is $189,900.  Please come!
The MLS# is S1053924 to see more photos.

Over the years I've watched it change.  There are now pretty flowers in front, and a few years ago the owners put in an egress window (at a good cost) in the lower level (aka basement) so they could use it as a guest bedroom.  They had already carpeted it, and put in a second full bath.  Over the course of years the home had been rented while the owners went south to warmer climes and traveled the world.  Last year the downstairs was a child's play room and the smaller upstairs bedroom her nursery.

When Annesgrove first came into being I was smitten!  I was a new agent, and I brought my mother over with the thought that she could move in and be well-cared for in a smaller home, but still be able to walk her dog, Dulcinea.  She chose our home instead, but said she wished she had made the move to someplace like this ten years before after my father passed away.  It was the first time she'd ever said anything like that!  I think it paved the way for her eventual move, just seeing the possibilities.

We went out to California in the spring of 2003 when Alex was in Americorps in Sacramento.  Going up into the wine country, we stayed in Calistoga.  And there they were!  Homes and a village atmosphere, just like Annesgrove.

I will be sad to see this home sold, and I will certainly miss the owners.  I hope the new owners will love it too!
