DEAR BUYERS,
Welcome to 18 Henley Drive, my family's home since 1948. Thank you so much for your interest! I thought I would take this opportunity to share a bit of the history of the property with you.
The deed goes back to August 24, 1796, when Captain Peter Ten Broeck was deeded the land from the British Crown for his service in the US Revolutionary War. I believe he also fought in the War of 1812. His family sold the land generations ago and my father purchased a portion of it with money received as his Veteran's allotment after WWII. We believe our home was one of the first built on Henley Drive.
Many fond memories were created over the years as my brother, sister, and I grew up. Growing up here, our home was surrounded by farmland. In front was a farmer's field and behind were rows of grape vines with a fruit orchard to the left. Our home also hosted many family parties, especially at Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas. Our large extended family was always over for a visit and our door was always open to family and friends. My parents loved music and our stereo or piano would fill the room.
The kitchen was a prime family spot, especially on Sundays when Mom was busy making our family's favourite roast beef dinner. Dad, an avid golfer, for a time had even turned the backyard into a putting green. Our yard also had tomato plants each summer and two Damson plum trees. A lot of jam was made from those trees and neighbours would come by to pick a basket!
This home has many happy memories for our family and will be remembered as a home full of fun and love. I believe that it will be the same for you and yours.
Sincerely,
Pat
