New Listing! One Buxton Lane, Bowmanville, Ontario

Robin and I have a gorgeous new Exclusive listing in Bowmanville - it's a custom finished 4 bedroom two-storey home and it absolutely sparkles.  The first time I walked into this home I was in awe - the lighting in the kitchen looks like raindrops - come on people - that's pretty cool!  Amazing finishes everywhere you look, custom artful fixtures, fully finished basement - this place is truly a showhome.  We'll be hosting an open house in the near future (we'll post it on the websites and twitter/blog, etc.) and if you'd like to book a private showing, feel free to contact us. We are having our photographer out to the house tomorrow to take proper photos (which this home definitely deserves!) but in the meantime, below are a few shots that we took ourselves.  This neighbourhood also has two incredible elementary schools (one Catholic, one Public), both of which have great daycare centres within them, and it is just up the street from the proposed new GO station coming to Bowmanville.  If you're like many buyers on the market who are frustrated by a lack of inventory on MLS, this might just be the hidden gem you've been waiting for!

Get your Clarington home ready for spring!

Yay!!  NON sub-zero temperatures today!  Blue skies!  Spring is on the way!  Here are some quick and easy tips on getting your home ready for a new season - get crackin':

1. Power wash the exterior of your house
It can be a bit of a rude awakening to take a good look at the exterior of your house after a long, cold, windy, salty winter.  Bust out that power washer and give things a good once over.

2. Try some new colours
Don't get stuck in a colour rut - the world around us is about to be renewed with bursts of green, yellow, purple, pink.....why not take inspiration from mother nature?

3. Switch up the layout
Just because the builder's plans for your house say that the long bowling alley room is supposed to be used as a "living/dining" room doesn't mean that's what you have to do.  Think about how YOU use your home, and how a different layout might better service your individual lifestyle, and give it a try!

4. Clean up
If you still have the ghosts of holidays pasts cluttering up the corners, nooks and crannies of your home, for the love of all things tidy, grab a garbage bag and deal with it.

5. Take down your Christmas decorations!!
I'm sorry to have to say this (because I am currently guilty of this myself) but please guys, take the Christmas lights down.  Nobody likes it.  Nobody thinks it's cute.  Get a grip.

HAPPY SPRING!
