The wonderful thing about a town like Cheshire, CT is that it truly is an old fashioned community with modern conveniences. Just this last week was the 100 year Birthday Celebration of R.W. Hine Hardware Store.

My family bought this store in 1979 when I was 11 years old. I worked at R.W. Hine all the way through high school to college, up until 2003 when I began working with Real Estate in Cheshire.

I went form selling people the nuts and bolts to fix their houses, to selling the whole house. I could not have asked for a better education in real estate. It was the perfect place to learn all about houses, along with a little about plumbing, electrical and construction.

Established in 1910, R.W. Hine Ace Hardware is a family owned and operated hardware store well known among the community for their amazing customer service.

A quick look at the R.W. Hine Facebook Wall and it is obvious how much this store means to the Cheshire community. One wall post says "When I used to come back home, I loved walking around Hines...Glad you still exist."

If you long to be a part of a community in which the local hardware store could exist for 100 years and still be going strong, then give me a call. Growing up here, I know Cheshire Connecticut like the back of my hand. There's nothing I love more than showing homebuyers beautiful Cheshire homes and the community that surrounds those homes. When it comes to community ties, Cheshire's bond is unbreakable, but we are always welcome to newcomers.
