Dear Future Homeowners of 50 KENDAL AVENUE

Welcome home! We are so thrilled that you will take on the care of this great house. In relocating, our family always said “if we could take this house with us, we would!” This home and street is truly something special. We took over the reigns from the Powells in 2016, and have cherished this home ever since. We’ve maintained it well, installing a new furnace, gutters, and water heater, along with sanding off the many years of paint it had accumulated and repainting it! Prior to the dark grey (Iron Ore Sherwin Williams), this house was two sequential shades of pea green! Check out the old listings in the box of paperwork that we’ll turn over! We love the spaciousness of this home, it is big, but doesn’t feel too big. We’ve had so many fun family memories here that it is hard to pick just one. We love having warming fires in the winter, it’s such a special treat to snuggle with your loved ones on any given day of the week! And dance parties, so many dance parties! Kendal Avenue itself is full of life and welcoming neighbors. Ken & Jackie live directly across the street and Jane & Jamie live next door. We found instant connection with Ken when he showed up on the porch with a Patriots hat on, and found out he had my mother as a teacher in high school! There are many fun activities on the street including the progressive dinner, block party, and Halloween. Set up on the porch and you’ll need at least 800 pieces of candy and two adults for shifts! Everyone is easy-going and friendly here and will stop by and say hi if you sit on the porch any time of day! We hope you enjoy the yard, that was our latest project and we left you the landscaping plans done by Splitrock Design! We’ve just renovated the front walkway and back patio, and put in that retaining wall. Bruce hand-moved the three azaleas for that section from the front of the house, and we both did the planting in the front after an outing to Great Swamp Nursery. More fun facts: - The first CrossFit Maplewood was run out of the garage by Matt Powell. It moved and then became SOMA MVT gym which you will see on Parker Avenue. - There are two black and white coon cats who like to traverse our yard, one belongs to Christina across the street and one lives two doors down. Don’t be surprised if you see them peering into the back door window! - The art room was wood paneling when we arrived and Bruce switched it out himself! We are always available to answer any questions you may have in the future. We hope you enjoy and adore 50 Kendal. We will always remember it with the utmost tenderness of heart. With gratitude and hope for a bright future, Wendy, Bruce & Parker
