The Village by the Arboretum is a vibrant and friendly community for residents aged 55+. Whether you're interested in peaceful strolls through the 500 acres of adjacent Arboretum lands, joining an art group, participating in a musical band, playing cards or mahjong, helping in the herb garden, enjoying aqua fit classes in the indoor pool, or simply socializing with friends, the VBA truly has so much to offer. The community center is stunning, and its use is included in the monthly fees. Touring the development, it is evident that everything is meticulously maintained. In the spring, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom, it’s truly a breathtaking sight. 59 Parkside Drive, the Laurelwood B model, is an exceptional 2,000 sq. ft. bungalow that is a joy to view. Featuring fresh, bright décor with spacious principal rooms, a kitchen with gorgeous granite countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and a sun tunnel. The family room boasts a cozy fireplace, while the front music/living room includes a handsome built-in bookcase. Additionally, there is an elegant separate dining room where family can gather to celebrate special occasions. The bedrooms are generously sized, and for overnight guests, the lower level includes a charming bedroom, a 3-piece bath, and a sitting area with its own gas fireplace. The immense workshop/storage area is a versatile space for hobbies or for the grandkids to play a game of ping pong. The home backs onto beautiful mature evergreens, creating a private outdoor haven. A welcoming home and community well worth exploring.
