Cannon's Traditions at Inniscrone Was the Perfect Move for Concord Couple.

AVONDALE, Pa. -- Mary Ann Brennan says she could not have found anything more perfect than the house she chose at Traditions at Inniscrone, Cannon Custom Homes' single family home community for adults 55+ in the scenic Brandywine Valley of Chester County.

"I fell in love with the development and the models from the beginning," Mary Ann explained, when comparing Traditions at Inniscrone with other nearby communities. "I liked the large homes, the 1/4 acre lots and less traffic. I also appreciate the 'old town America' feeling in this area where people are friendly, wave, say hello and even know your name."

Mary Ann moved into the community with her husband Mike, retired from the Springfield Police Department and now running his own electrical company, along with her 88-year old father, Harry Larkin, about a year ago. They selected the largest home, the Augusta Model, to provide the space the family needed. The second floor loft custom designed with a bedroom, spacious living room and full bath, works perfectly for her father. The loft is easily accessed with an electric lift chair the Brennan's installed.

After having lived in their previous home in Concord Township for some 22 years, they were relieved to give up the maintenance of their three-acre property. "It was becoming a full time job keeping the property up," Mary Ann said. At Traditions at Inniscrone, they have a generous amount of ground and don't have to mow it. Mowing, snow removal and other exterior maintenance are handled through the Homeowners Association.

The community overlooks the Inniscrone Golf Course. Although neither Mary Ann nor husband Mike golf, they like the open space the golf course provides. Whether you golf or not, the natural and scenic ambiance is lovely and the walking trails provide another opportunity to be outdoors.

An amenity Mary Ann does enjoy, when she isn't working full time in the legal department of Astrazeneca, is the clubhouse and the community's social activities.

The spectacular $1.5 million clubhouse is the hub for activities that everyone can enjoy. There is a huge gathering room with a fireplace, a kitchen, outdoor deck, a fitness center, saunas and an outdoor pool.

Mary Ann sits on the clubhouse activities committee. "There is so much to do," she said. "I'm looking forward to our first craft night soon and Mike goes to movie night on Thursdays. There is also a poker club and we have cocktail parties every week."

Priced from $300,000 and up, the single family homes are Energy Star certified and feature five flexible home plans. The community is located near Wilmington, Delaware and Delaware County, PA. Call 610-268-1442 or visit www.cannonhomes.com.
