Announcing our
Preview House!

John and Susan Blair have graciously opened their home to the Preview Party on June 10, 2022.

The custom-made timber front gate and lamp posts welcome guests, while an antique school bell sits atop a bluestone pediment and matches the bluestone walkway that leads to a covered front entrance. An outdoor oasis at the rear of the house includes an outdoor kitchen, a saltwater pool with fountains, a spa, spacious pool house, and plentiful seating for outdoor entertaining. The outside area beyond the pool incorporates a custom-made golfing green to practice putting and chips out of the sand trap.
