Your Home: Where Living Meets Legacy
Once the historic St. James School, this Ferndale landmark was thoughtfully renovated in 2019 into a boutique 55+ community of studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences. Modern interiors complement the historic architecture — with arched doorways, original brickwork, and elegant stone details paying tribute to the building’s heritage.
