\n\u201cIn 1972, a few months before we were to be married, we pooled our savings and put down $1,500 on what was to be our first of many homes together. Although it was being built for us, at $19,999, the selections available to us were few: color of carpet, color of appliances, and color of counter tops. Period. A few years later corporate life put us on the road, and in five more cities we bought new but already built homes in traditional suburban developments.<\/em>
\nNow, exactly 40 years later, we are building our retirement home at The Avenue.\u00a0The location is perfect for walking to the beach, library and restaurants; the home design is well conceived, affording us first floor living with generous second floor guest space; the high quality of construction gives us peace of mind; and, yes, we were able to make personal selections, finally making this OUR home.\u00a0We are thrilled with The Avenue and the Schell Brothers team.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dan and Kathy Cochran, our first buyers at The Avenue, recently shared this special story with me, and I wanted to pass it along to you.
