Dear Pamela, Oliver, and Little Clayton,
Welcome to your new home! We are absolutely delighted that you’ve chosen 8 Dalton Road – a home filled with light, peace, and the beauty of nature.
It’s our hope that you create many wonderful memories here, just as we have.
This home was built with love and intention. We purchased the lot in October 2020, broke ground in April 2021, and officially moved in by July 2022.
From day one, our vision was to create a modern, open space that would bring in natural light and maintain a strong connection to the surrounding
landscape. The large windows, clean lines, and natural tones were all designed to make the most of this special place.
As you settle in, we want to make your transition as smooth as possible. This guide includes all the essential information you’ll need – from maintenance
schedules to utility contacts and more.
Warmest regards,
Marcos & Shawn
