"Empty nesters have really welcomed the ranch and first-floor master plans," said Gail Payonk, director of marketing for Wiseman-Hughes. "Many like the fact that it is ADA accessible so they can plan for the long term."

"This type of maintenance-free home is difficult to find in the Oswego area," Payonk continued. "Busy professionals also enjoy Ashcroft's proximity to the train and town. With its charming restaurants and shops, Oswego suits their lifestyles, perfectly."
