\nNext up in our growing Governors’ roster are the Turners! Meet this awesome duo and join us in welcoming them to the Governors\/Schell Brothers family:<\/p>\n

Tell us a bit about yourselves and your current situation?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We are Diane and Tony Turner, coming down from Lynbrook, NY, a village in the western part of Long Island.\u00a0 We met while students at Fordham University in the Bronx, and we\u2019ll be married 35 years this September.\u00a0 Diane is retired from a career of accounting \/ CFO and then teaching college business courses at the high school level; Tony is retired after 33 years at Allstate Insurance Company.\u00a0 We have three wonderful children, all out of the \"\"house now and successful in their own fields.\u00a0 We are also still blessed to have two of our aging parents nearby us in Long Island (Tony\u2019s mom and Diane\u2019s dad).\u00a0 We are avid Disney, Mets, & Jets fans, we love to travel and camp (we have an Rpod lightweight trailer), and we love to bike, hike, and kayak.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

How did you hear\/know about Lewes and the beach?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With an empty nest now, and the high real estate taxes in Long Island, we have been thinking for awhile that we need to \u201cscale-down\u201d and move off the island.\u00a0 We definitely have no interest to move north and into colder territory, and we love the beach.\u00a0 We also do not want to live too far from any of our children (currently located in Maryland and New York City).\u00a0 Delaware seemed like a perfect fit for us.\u00a0 We made several trips down to the Lewes\/Rehoboth Beach area before finally finding \u201cour home.\u201d<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Why did you pick Governors as your new home community?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

First, we have been very impressed with the quality and efficiency of the homes in the other Schell developments in the area (not to mention all the salespeople!).\u00a0 When we heard about Governors opening up, we were thrilled.\u00a0 The \"\"proximity to the beach, the trail, the park, the breweries, the town, etc.; the timing of construction; the models available; the community center and pool (with a swim-up bar!); the ability to get in from the beginning; \u2026 what was there not to love?!?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Why did you pick your floor plan at Governors?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We chose the Orchid model because we love the open feel along with one-floor living.\u00a0 We are scaling down a little from our current situation (losing a basement and formal dining room), which is good for us because we want\/need to de-clutter!!!\u00a0 Adding the loft gives us space for all our kids to stay if they are all visiting at the same time, and the unfinished storage will help for those things we just can\u2019t get rid of yet!!!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

What do you look forward to the most once you live in your new home in Governors?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

What is there not to look forward to?!?\u00a0 First, we met almost all our immediate neighbors at the Launch\/Celebration party, and they are all wonderful people.\u00a0 We can\u2019t wait to develop friendships with them and all our other neighbors.\u00a0 We are also thrilled to be able to walk or bike on the nearby trail, whether heading into Lewes, Cape Henlopen State Park, or Rehoboth Beach, to walk to the nearby breweries (and stumble home??), to check out all the local stores and restaurants, to relax on the beach, and to kayak on the canal, in the bay, or wherever else we can launch our kayak.\u00a0 With our parents\u2019 situations, we\u2019re not sure how immediate we will make Governors our permanent home, but we are so excited to be making the move!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
