Text Zakiya Kassam l Photography Anthony Rego hen these retirees began the house hunt for their forever home, they had their hearts set on an upscale neighborhood. “We had been looking at homes in that area for some time, as we lived in the neighborhood many years ago and wanted to move back there to be closer to our children and grandchildren in our retirement years,” say the homeowners. “Since there were only a handful of bungalows in the neighborhood, we jumped on this property as soon as we saw it listed for sale.” The home includes 2,100 square feet, three bedrooms, and 2.5 bathrooms. It was built in the early 90s and had never been renovated or updated. To help bring their home into the 21 st century, the homeowners brought on creative director and designer, Cheryl Tay. “The home was extremely outdated, but we believed there was potential. Cheryl and her team came up with a vision and were able to translate everything we wanted to make our dream retirement home come true,” say the homeowners. CANADIANHOMETRENDS.COM 39
