It was love at first sight. Lucille LaBarbera and her husband already owned a beautiful home in Florida, but also wanted a place in Chester County near their family in order to spend more time with their grandchildren. After touring a unit at Wellington Condominiums in Eagleview, “I instantly fell in love with it,” said Lucille. “It was just what my husband and I were looking for.” They purchased a home quickly.

From the perspective of grandmom, hostess, real estate agent, homeowners’ association board member elected by her neighbors and active traveler, Lucille LaBarbera has great things to say about the Wellington. She talks about its top quality construction, its high-end features and beautiful finish work, and the lifestyle that the Eagleview community affords her husband and her.

An Open Layout

The Wellington’s beautiful appointments and open floor plan are perfect for entertaining, according to Lucille. At Christmas, she and her husband opened the charming French doors, set tables with fine linens and served 14 guests at a gracious sit-down dinner. Their lovely sitting area was the setting for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.

With a realtor’s eye, she noted that they enjoy their condominium’s high-end features and construction as found in their large, pre-empty-nest home, but they don’t “rattle around in it.” The well-considered design offers space for family and guests to feel comfortable for small and large gatherings.

Community Life

Just steps outside her front door, Eagleview’s carefully designed community with landscaped parks and natural woods also suits Lucille’s tastes. She bicycles around the area and walks the neighborhood’s trails and winding footpaths. Lucille and family members also walk to the pharmacy and market area of the Eagleview Town Center, where shops, services, an art gallery and restaurants combine urban sophistication with friendly help.

Freedom with Peace of Mind

The most recent holidays also found Lucille on the go—taking in the Christmas tree lights at Rockefeller Center and indulging in meals at wonderful restaurants in New York City, she said. Just minutes from the Exton train station, she enjoys convenient access to Amtrak’s transportation to New York for special occasions and to New England each autumn. SEPTA’s trains take her to Philadelphia museums. Car routes are easy to New Jersey beaches, she added.

For a long time, the LaBarberas traveled back and forth between their homes in Pennsylvania and Florida. With the reassurance that the Hankin Group handled security, building upkeep and meticulous maintenance of the grounds, they left behind all headaches of caring for a home and were free to travel.

“The Wellington is a lovely place with high-end amenities and that allows us freedom and accessibility, ”Lucille asserted.    We realized that this is what we want!” Last spring, they sold their home in Florida and made the Wellington their permanent home.

She summed it up: “Wellington affords us a wonderful lifestyle.”
