Founders Village

Founders Village is a 55+ retirement community with condos built in 1987, sitting on a 10-acre compound "in town," and folks who live there usually want a quiet, easy lifestyle with some nice features for seniors, and because the homes all come with two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, they tend to work best for those who want a little space but not too much to keep up with, and every condo has about 1,100 to 1,200 square feet of living area, hard wood floors in the main rooms, crown molding, and old-fashioned trim around wide ADA-compliant doorways, and you get a large living room with a fireplace and tall ceilings, a kitchen with all major appliances, a dining area with sliding glass doors that open to a private patio, and whoever gets the primary bedroom enjoys both an en-suite bathroom with a tub and two big closets. Every unit is set up for year-round use with central air, oil hot water heating, cable and phone hookups, and water from town utilities, while the full basement has room for storage or a workbench, and there's always on-site laundry either in-unit or on the main level. The HOA fee takes care of the shared grounds, pool service, snow removal, trash, and common areas, so residents don't have to worry about much outside work, and the community space has things like a clubhouse for gatherings, a green lawn, a vinyl in-ground pool, and spots to sit or take in the view. The condos have unique features like custom mantles and solid oak floors, they're set in garden-style buildings with shared walls, and parking is right outside, since there's no garage or lot. Founders Village also offers residents beach and water rights, along with outdoor and community features like patios, a garden setting, and finished basements with legal egress and plenty of storage, while the community stays generally quiet, with all common areas maintained and a sense of privacy. There aren't any restrictions on who can live on the ground floor and there's no garage but a single parking spot comes with each home. Founders Village serves those who want an easy lifestyle close to the water with swimming, outdoor space, and clubroom get-togethers, with basic services like landscape maintenance and snow removal included, and the place continues to draw seniors who want a comfortable, low-maintenance home with some unique style and a peaceful setting.
