Not much to say here, very nice house in an are of quick development
While out with RiddimRyder recently we spotted a long overgrown driveway with some kind of structure way off in the distance.
We decided to park and take a trek in through the snow and we found ourselves an abandoned house in the woods!
As we approached, we weren't certain at first if it was abandoned, as we walked across the back yard we noticed the driveway had not been cleared of snow while the house next door was. As we moved closer to the house we noticed that the power had been cut and the hydro meter removed.
At this point we felt much more comfortable walking the property and one look inside of a window and our suspicions were confirmed. A beautiful old home with exposed beams on the main floor ceiling, a well lit sun room, fire place and more. This home in the woods would have been an amazing country retreat or family home.
Given its location, chances are it will be demolished for new subdivisions that are already creeping closer to the property

I am so sick and tired of all these lovely old places being demolished in the name of new houses. This was a Gorgeous house.
