BACKYARD RETREAT FOR ALL AGES

An old-world stone home set on a property with mature trees and manicured lawns, 8 Maple Hill is pretty from the curb.

The half-acre property backs on to the Westmount Golf and Country Club, which holds significant appeal, says listing agent Colleen Whitney.

The home will appeal to residents living in the neigh- bourhood, as well as those who want to move into Westmount.

The luxury home has “a casual living mode,” she adds.

It includes an openconcept kitchen/family room with a beamed ceiling, a fireplace and an eating area to enjoy meals or for craft time with the kids.

The backyard includes a patio, a swimming pool and a cabana.

Many people who work in the area are moving from the GTA to reduce their commute, Whitney says. They like the affordability, lifestyle and family-oriented Kitchener-Waterloo area.
