INTERVIEW WITH THE HOMEOWNER
                                                  PURCHASED IN 2005

                         What made us fall in love with home –

                         We moved to Easton in 1998 because we fell in love with the street. We were one of the
                         earlier residents and moved into a new house on the cul-de-sac where we lived for seven
                         years.  When 100 Old Stonewall came on the market we realized it had everything we were
                         looking for:  a pool, extra bathrooms, a level lot that I could garden in and a walkout lower
                         level.  In 2005 we packed up and moved three houses away into this home.  We definitely
                         wanted  to stay on the block, stay in Easton and enjoy the extra amenities of this house
                         provided our family.



                         Renovation process –
                         We have renovated and made many upgrades throughout the years:
                         Custom kitchen with high end appliances, gas range, coffee bar and plenty of storage
                         We added pavers from lower walk-out slider to pool area and around pool
                         The yard is totally fenced in.  New wood fence in drive and fencing in the woods. The
                         driveway fence railing matches the deck railing
                         Driveway from stone to asphalt
                         Replaced builders’ deck to custom Ipe deck

                         Pool house with power
                         New energy efficient windows and doors in kitchen and sunroom
                         Whole house generator


                         Why are we moving – We have a new home in Florida.  We will miss Easton a lot it is truly
                         home for us



                         Will we miss the neighbors/ neighborhood? – Yes.  The neighbors are great. No one is
                         overbearing but will be there to help if you need anything.  Many have been here a long time
                         and our grown kids have played together when they were young.


                         Tell me about the grounds – The view of the woods behind the house is wonderful to watch
                         in every season.  We have done a lot to make the yard peaceful and beautiful.  There were
                         no perennial gardens here when we moved in and I have put my heart and soul into the
                         gardens.
                         Besides the perennial gardens and pool there are hummingbirds from early May till

                         September.  Hang a hummingbird feeder off the deck, take a seat in a lounge chair and
                         watch them up close. They will hover right in front of you.  We will miss our yard the most
                         but it will make me happy to think the next owners will love it and enjoy it the way we do.


                         What makes the property special? – The yard, the location, being on a cul-de-sac, the small
                         town feel of Easton, the open spaces close by, access to shopping.
