Allen and his wife Joanne, moved to their 1,600-square-foot cottage in March 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Like many couples their age, Joanne, 74, and Allen, 79, both retired Bucknell University math teachers, were tired of caring for their aging home. But they weren\u2019t willing to give up too much space. So, when they first toured one of three cottages, they immediately put their name on a waiting list. Prepared to wait, they were delighted when in just a few days they received a phone call letting them know the cottage was theirs. Turns out, the two people ahead of them on the waitlist weren\u2019t quite ready to move and had turned it down.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Space for Passions and Priorities<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cBam! We were here,\u201d says an enthusiastic Allen. \u201cThis is one of only three homes on campus with this floor plan.\u201d The couple was excited to be able to customize their new cottage. In their case, a workable, up-to-date kitchen where Joanne could cook and a separate laundry room away from public view. \u00a0They also wanted extra rooms where their two sons could stay when visiting.<\/p>\n<p>Joanne and Allen are also enjoying the community\u2019s spacious 108-acre campus. The campus\u00a0 is filled with walking paths and scenic places to enjoy the outdoors. \u201cI can do a four-mile walk without leaving the campus,\u201d says. Joanne.\u00a0 \u201cAnd I always feel safe while I\u2019m doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joanne, who puts a priority on staying fit, takes water aerobics and other exercise classes at the Wellness and Aquatics Center. \u201cWe really, really appreciate the wellness team,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s such a plus to have a fully equipped gym and professionally staffed center right here on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She supplements her on-campus workouts with a twice-weekly, virtual TRX class done from her garage where she\u2019s installed a ceiling mount to accommodate the suspension workout.<\/p>\n<p>Along with his daily workouts, Allen volunteers for a local land trust that preserves special green spaces. Once a new area has been identified for preservation, Allen crafts the conservation agreements. He\u2019s also taken up playing bridge after a 45-year hiatus and he and \u201cbunch of guys\u201d get together to shoot pool regularly in the community pool room.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Connections and Convenience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The couple has called Lewisburg home for 48 years and the 1.5-mile move to RiverWoods meant nearly all their social connections and other activities remained the same. \u201cI\u2019m happy that we found a place so close to our old friends while having the opportunity to make new ones\u201d says Allen. \u201cWe also didn\u2019t have to search for new doctors, and we know the area well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Joanne and Allen feel secure about their choice. Especially because of the health care services that are available to them if needed. \u201cWho knows how things will change in the next few years,\u201d says Allen.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m five years older than Joanne and I feel good that her future is provided for here.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Family Affair<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>That peace of mind was also a key factor in the decision-making process for Allen\u2019s sister, Audrey, who will be moving to the community from Massachusetts this coming spring. Recently widowed and without children, Audrey, 75, visited her brother for a long weekend with no plans to move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe showed her around the community, including touring a friend\u2019s cottage, took her into town and introduced her to some of our friends,\u201d says Allen. Within days, Audrey had signed the paperwork and put down a deposit on a 1,000-square-foot cottage.<\/p>\n<p>Allen is excited to have his sister nearby, but even more, he\u2019s comforted that Audrey\u2019s future is secure. \u201cMaking this decision takes care of the situation,\u201d says Allen. \u201cLiving here truly is a delight. I\u2019m so glad Joanne and I made this choice.\u201d<\/p>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n            <script src=\"https:\/\/www.asbury.org\/riverwoods\/wp-content\/themes\/fountainsl\/blocks\/imageandcopy\/script.js\">\n            <\/script>\n            <style>.imageandcopy{\n\n  margin: 0 auto;\n  width: 100%;\n  overflow: hidden;\n}.imageandcopy .blockcontainer {\n  margin-top: 10px;\n\n  margin-bottom: 10px;\n\n\n}\n\n.imageandcopy .innercontainer {\n\n  padding-top: 10px;\n\n  padding-bottom: 10px;\n\n  padding-left: 10px;\n\n  padding-right: 10px;\n\n}<\/style>            <style>\n            .imageandcopy.blockcontainer {\n                min-height: 400px;\n            }\n            <\/style>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\r\n        \r\n        <!-- END: FountainSL\/Block: acf\/imageandcopy -->\r\n        ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1081,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1844","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Roomy Cottage Is Perfect Equation for Couple - Riverwoods<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover why two retired mathematicians found their &quot;perfect equation&quot; at Riverwoods.
