Your heart stops with your mouth open in shock. 76 Seymour Avenue is yours. You can’t believe it. You have your hands framed in front of you like a piece of art has come to life. You did it. It’s one of those history making milestones. Your parents will be proud of this turning point in your life. 

Put your mark on this pocket original. The keys are in your hand. The feeling of ownership comes over you from the moment you walk through the door. The birds are not the only ones singing happily. This feeling of comforting warmth touches you. You almost want to get down on your knees and kiss the dark stained floors. 

Tell me what you’re thinking? What do you say to yourself in the mirror of one of the bathrooms upstairs or down in the privacy of your basement? What goes through your head when you absentmindedly walk around your kitchen with designs on making something mouth watering by your own hand? You see pride in owning your own home. This is what living is all about.

You don’t have to live like a caveman eating your meals over the sink or on the couch. Dining with real plates and glasses is a novelty you didn’t know you missed. It’s time to go unplugged for an hour. The kitchen is a chef’s dream come true with loads of untapped potential and counter space. You have the delicious ingredients to a happy home at your fingertips.

The living room is begging for that 50 inch television you had your eye on. Make blockbuster movies jump off the screen. A big bag of popcorn is laying in your lap with that special someone holding onto you tight. A sigh of contentment comes out of your mouth. The bedrooms are spacious. This isn’t a closet pretending to be a master bedroom. 

No longer do you have to contend with the landlord with his hand in your pocket every month. No longer do you have to live with the condominium fees. This investment is already paying off with the kind of memories you are going to make. This is yours to put your own personal touch on. It’s a blank canvas. Art is subjective. A splash of color will give it the character you are looking for. There are no restrictions. Let your imagination soar to explore the possibilities with this two bedroom gem. 

Don’t forget life doesn’t get any better than having the Greenwood smokehouse practically on your doorstep. There’s no guilt in enjoying your favorite meal with Good Life right there to mold your body into the specimen you’ve always wanted. Feel like taking a stroll in Phin Avenue Park. It’s right there luring you to it like a moth to the flame. The trees bend with their branches in greeting to a new resident of the neighborhood. 

You walk by the Surgarloaf Bakery with its intoxicating aroma of fresh pastries. Go ahead. Nobody is looking. Indulge in something decadent to start your day off right. You can always burn off those excess calories with another hour on the treadmill. It’s worth it. 

Want to get away for the evening. No problem. The subway is steps from your door. The city is ripe with art, music and an eclectic array of restaurants to satisfy the most discriminating appetite. Shopping is a pleasure. This is how you envisioned walking into your future. 

The Only Café has captured your interest. The warm hot chocolate with melted marshmallows throws you back into a time that was all about childhood pleasures. There’s nothing wrong with reliving your youth. One of their specialty coffees gives you the added caffeine fix to go that extra mile.

You can record for posterity those holiday meals and laughter from all who attend. Stories were meant to be told around the dinner table with bits of turkey clinging to your lips. Decorate however you want. Don’t want to lose the spirit of Christmas. Put the Christmas lights up around the kitchen all year around to make you smile in the morning. It will certainly be a conversation starter.

Spring is in the air. Doesn’t the warm afternoon sun from the west on your deck feel nice? This is the road less traveled by most. You close your eyes and listen to the absolute quiet. This is what was missing from your life.
