Congratulations to Charlie on his nice sale of 21 Upper Deck Lane our waterfront condo listing in Drury Cove.  Way to go Charlie!  Purchased as a vacation home, the out of country buyers are excited about their purchase and look forward to enjoying the refreshing summer months here in Saint John!  We have the mirror image of this condo available but with an additional 100 sq. ft. per floor and attached 2-car garage.  Call, text or email for details.   For a dog I’m very techy you know but with my big paws Mama helps with the texting!

Drury Cove is on a roll with three homes with sold in the past month and Mama has an accepted offer on a fourth!  It is a gorgeous area, so naturally spread along the Kennebecasis River and Drury Cove with awesome sunset views and vistas up the river.  T

We invite you to two Rothesay open houses this weekend.  The first is at 149 Riverside Drive off Appleby Drive from 12:30 to 2pm.   This family home is a cedar and brick Viceroy design known for their quality construction and wonderful layouts.  I can attest to the solarium kitchen, cozy propane fireplace, large yard which is partially fenced, perfect for children and furry friends alike.

The second open house is at 85 Gondola Point Road from 2:30 to 4pm with it’s large private yard and exciting new renovations!  The kitchen now boasts fresh white cabinetry, glass backsplash and new stainless steel appliances.  Hope to see you there!

Summer is finally here!!! Nicholas and I thought it would never come.  He looks forward to running the NB beaches any chance he gets and I dream all winter about cruising along the fresh clean water of the Bay of Fundy at my usual relaxed swimming pace.  I’ve been in twice this year so far and Nicholas has been up over his knees.  Too cold for the little guy.  Have a wonderful weekend, enjoy the sunshine and get out there and enjoy Southern NB!

Your pal,

Big Buddy Bacon

One of Mama’s clients generously gave her and I the most beautiful antique print of a dog they feel looks very much like me as a thank you for selling their house this week!  When she brought it through the door with it’s elegant silver frame, Nicholas and I couldn’t believe the resemblance.  The dog in the picture is a big black and white Newf, just like me, laying beside the sweetest little blond haired Victorian girl.  We just can’t thank them enough!

Happy Father Day to all of you kind fathers out there!  Thank you for your loving ways, moral support and all round caring and kindness (and for slipping us the odd treat)!  Nicholas and I are taking Papa for a ferry ride to scenic Deer Island (we’re happy to ride in the back).  We’re taking him to the 45th Parallel Restaurant for some fresh seafood.  We’ve heard Mama and Charlie raving about how fabulous Deer Island is as they’ve listed a couple of nice homes on the island perfect for year round or vacation homes.  We’re taking Papa over to check it out!

 

3 Mountain Side Drive, Lambert’s Cove                     101 Richardson Road, Richardson

It’s been a wet week, especially today with vigorous downpours between steady showers!  Nicholas and I were in pretty well all day just scooting out for a few minutes and then pestering Mama and Papa for extra ear scratches and attention.  I’ve got it all figured out that if Mama can’t place her right hand on the mouse, she can’t work at the computer!!!  She works on that computer by the hour without letting up so I wander over once in awhile and place my head under her elbow and give her arm a quick flick away from the mouse!  I just keep doing it until I get a bit of attention and then I leave her alone and wonder off.  There’s no way to get away from the Budster when he needs a good ear scratch!

We invite you to our open houses next  Sunday June17th.  19 Upper Deck Lane Drury Cove will be open from 2:00-4:00.  This awesome condo  priced at $499,000 has it all with eat-in kitchen, family room with wet bar, 2 fireplaces, 2 master bedrooms with walk-in closet and ensuite bath and 2 double garages providing a 4-car garage!  It is 2414 square feet with awesome view of the cove.

  

21 Upper Deck will be on tour as well Sunday even though this particular large unit is SOLD it is currently the show home for #25 listed at $525,000 which will be a mirror image but with 2-car attached garage and 100 sq. ft. larger!

   

#25 Upper Deck will be similar to the above but with 2-car garage & 1550 sq. ft. main floor

433 Pelton Road will be on the tour priced at $488,500 (below accessed value).  This four-bedroom/ three full bath family home has spacious rooms, main floor master bedroom with huge walk-in closet and ensuite bath, open concept, propane fireplace, finished walkout basement, large family room and one of the most awesome views on the Kennebecasis River!  No only that but it’s located up the hill away from the water so no worries about flooding here and it comes with beach rights to Sandy Point Beach one of the best on the river!

 

The weatherman is calling for a gorgeous weekend with sunny blue skies starting today through Sunday.  I’m hoping to get in for a swim at New River Beach myself.  My side-kick will have a great frolic on the beach as the water is too cold for Nicholas’ fine coat yet.  He’ll rip up and down the beach at break-neck speed with the sand shooting out behind his strong legs, dipping and diving left and right then swing back around again leaning hard into the corners.  Then he’ll start vigorously digging holes in the sand trying to bury the drift wood that’s floated up on the beach.  He’s so focused when he gets going, it’s amazing!  Mama and Papa laugh to kill themselves when he starts his shenanigans and I can’t help but have a good chuckle myself!   We hope to see you out and about and enjoy the sunshine!

Mama and Charlie are as busy as bees this weekend showing homes to out of province and local buyers alike!  Those from out of town enjoy a city/valley tour as well as a close look at our local schools if they have school-age children. They both enjoy meeting new people and showing off our wonderful community were they have lived their entire lives, so who would know it better or love it more!  What’s not to love with our fresh seaside air, gentle mountains, picturesque valleys, meandering rivers, low crime rate, fantastic home prices and the friendliest people you’ll ever meet!  That’s why Mama calls it “Canada’s Best Kept Secret”!

We invite you to our open houses next  Sunday June17th.  433 Pelton Road will be on the tour priced at $488,500 (below accessed value).  This four-bedroom/ three full bath family home has spacious rooms, main floor master bedroom with huge walk-in closet and ensuite bath, open concept, propane fireplace, finished walkout basement, large family room and one of the most awesome views on the Kennebecasis River!  No only that but it’s located up the hill away from the water so no worries about flooding here and it comes with beach rights to Sandy Point Beach one of the best on the river!  Stay tuned as other open houses will be added.

Hoping it warms up over the weekend.  Auntie Blue has her annuals in and we afraid the frost might nip them!  Weather man says mid to high teens and sunny for the most part.  Probably a good weekend to help Papa work in the garden while Mama shows houses.  Papa never worked in a garden before he met Mama but we can attest that he’s getting pretty good and he really enjoys it!  We like to keep him company as he putters around except for when he gets that noisy lawn tractor out!  We both head indoors until that part is finished, we don’t trust that thing!  Talk with you soon and have a good one.

Spring seemed to miss NB this year but summer is certainly here!  What awesome weather we’re having.  I’ve been going out in my yard early in the mornings as soon as Mama gets up and let’s me out.  I love to walk around my yard, check things out and then lay in front of the garage to watch my street as my neighbourhood comes to life.  I see the kids walking down the hill to catch the school bus and their parents dashing off to work.  Our magnolia trees and rhododendrons are finally in bloom.  Here’s a pic of Nicholas in front of our cup and saucer magnolia and cotton candy rhody.

Congratulations to little Joey Thompson on his new self-contained  home in Drury Cove.  You and your Mama are going to love it Joey with the beautiful yard, cosy fireplace and that awesome patio!  Mama loved working with your family through the purchase, it was a real pleasure.  I have to tell you Joey, you are one sharp dresser too!
