Dayton September 2022

TIMING IS EVERYTHING
Fortunately, construction on the
home wrapped up in December of
2019, so the pandemic did not negatively
impact the process. In fact,
the Donninis are incredibly positive
about their new home and the whole
experience.
The builder, Associate Construction,
was excellent to work with.
“Every single contractor was top
notch,” Rick says. “We would work
with them all again.”
But for the distant future, the couple
has no plans of moving anywhere
else. Thanks to the wide-open floor
plan, this home will accommodate
aging-in-place beautifully. Plus, they
are fans of the Greater Dayton lifestyle.
Rick, who is originally from New
Mexico says, “A lot of people don’t
know how good they have it here.
It’s relatively inexpensive and there’s
not a lot of traffic. The people here
are decent, laid back. We love the
Midwest!”
Tonia’s office is tucked away in a more private area off the entry.
