Good afternoon and welcome back to L&A Loop.
This week’s edition is built for a late Saturday read: one local event worth planning ahead for, a standout house on the market, a few things to keep on your radar this week, and a local business worth knowing.
Let’s get into it.
✨ Local Pick of the Week
This week’s local pick is one to bookmark now before next weekend fills up.
The Laser-Guided Tour of the Night Sky is happening April 10 and 11 from 9:00 PM to 10:30 PM at the Lennox & Addington Dark Sky Viewing Area in Erinsville, and it’s free.
It’s one of those local experiences that feels a lot more memorable than it sounds in a calendar listing. If you’ve never been, this is a good excuse to finally go.
🏡 House of the Week
232 Dundas Street W, Greater Napanee
$999,900 · 5 bed · 4 bath
This week’s house pick is in Napanee and stands out for its historic character, scale, and curb appeal. A good one for anyone who loves older homes with presence, appreciates standout architecture, or just enjoys browsing the listings that feel a little more memorable than the rest.
🔨 Business Spotlight
Spruced Up By Steve
From kitchen updates to outdoor spaces, Steve Essam helps homeowners bring new life to their homes.
After more than 30 years as a film set decorator, renovator, designer, and real estate agent, Steve has built a career around transforming spaces. He helps homeowners rethink and refresh their homes through creative, practical, and budget-conscious improvements.
His work includes kitchen and bathroom renovations, exterior upgrades, decks and outdoor living spaces, and thoughtful updates that improve how a home looks, feels, and functions.
Many locals have seen that approach firsthand through the transformation of his own century farmhouse, where he revitalized the home, grounds, and historic barn while preserving the property’s original character.
What he enjoys most is helping people see their homes through fresh eyes and uncover possibilities they may not have considered.
Thinking about a home update? Steve offers free estimates.

That’s your L&A Loop for this week.
