All the convenience of condo living in a detached home! Located on the former Ogden J. Armour Estate, the picturesque drive in to Academy Woods is so peaceful. Services provided each residence includes a comprehensive landscaping package: weekly cutting, edging, trimming and pruning, some weeding, bi-annual mulching and a spring and fall clean up. Snow removal after 2" to your garage and front door, gutter cleaning twice annually, painting of the exterior and maintenance and insurance for all the Academy Woods common areas. ONLY ONE Association Fee, no additional master association fee. Living in Academy Woods is not just a home, or neighborhood, it is a lifestyle that will free up some of your precious time.
