Open House Agent Tour

A grey and windy day today on the Chebucto Peninsula, but a great day for an Agent Open House tour.  Saw some beautiful homes, but by far the steal of the day was 3676 Old Sambro Rd.  Beautiful house perfect for a couple or small family.  Many new updates and beautiful finishing touches.  Wonderful basement for the handyman or hobbyist, single car garage and great shed.  The view of the ocean from the living room and master bathroom.

Many thanks to Ed Whebby for being a warm and gracious host.
