ROOM TO GROW
4 Chalmers Drive, Barrie
Houses are more than a place for us to sleep and eat and
celebrate with our friends and relatives. They offer us a safe
harbour to thrive and grow, both inside and out.
On the walk to school, friendships grow.
Trees planted in the backyard grow.
And the family who live inside, grow.
The home on Chalmers Drive certainly provided the room
for Philip and Kathy's family of 5 to grow over their two
decades here.
And if it couldn't be done inside, the backyard pool and cabana
were there to meet the needs of a family get together or a
summer block party.
The family spent their first few hours at Chalmers in that pool;
moving day was a 30 degree scorcher, and they celebrated
coming home by enjoying that afternoon swimming.
And now this home has done it's job, as Philip, Kathy and their
family, are moving on to new chapters and new experiences.
“Don't worry about the knocks and little dents or setbacks”...
that inevitably follow when a family lives in a big home like this
one, the couple suggest. “Just enjoy it”
They know, from experience that regardless of what life brings
to the door, at 4 Chalmers there is always Room to Grow.
With 4 bedrooms, 2 storeys and a basement big enough for
a hockey game, the home provided their family the chance to
be together, and still live their own lives.
Whether it was a quiet place to read and do homework, a
big living room for Easter egg hunts, or even hosting an entire
family from Australia for a month, this home was always up
to challenge.
