TOP 10 THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT LIFE ON OLD ROAD

1. The modern architecture that sets itself apart

We were immediately impressed by the strong lines and modern architecture Vita Design and Able Construction
created for this home. After spending more time in house we have an even deeper appreciation for the thought that
went into everything, from how the home and pool were positioned to take advantage of the sun to the lower level
which feels like a true extension of the house, never an afterthought.
2. All the windows/light
Even on winter days the light streams into the house. Due to the current conditions, we have spent a lot of time indoors
this fall and winter and throughout this time we always felt a sense of being outdoors, surrounded by our gardens.
3. The Neighborhood

From even before we moved into the house we were welcomed with open arms by all our neighbors. We anticipated
it might be hard to meet people with social distancing in place but, despite those precautions, our neighbors still
found ways to reach out and get to know us and the kids. It really was such a pleasant surprise.
4. Access to everything within minutes
Moving from the city we were worried about leaving behind the accessibility that Manhattan provides but we have
found so much is right at our fingertips. We love frequenting the local fish shop Fjord for a quick bite of sushi or to
pick up top-notch salmon for the evening. The kids were so excited that Shake Shack is a stone's throw away. The

ease of being so close to Post Road and all it's shopping cannot be overstated.
5. The outdoor space
With ample time at home recently we really wanted to extend our living outdoors as much as possible. The generous
sized patio is the perfect spot to watch a game while the kids play in the pool. The basketball net has been a big draw
for the kids and their friends, especially since we added the speakers.
6. The craftmanship and detail that were considered.
The house is always surprising us with the little details the architect and builders included in each step of the process.
From the way a door closes to how a certain window frames the outdoors like a picture frame, it is the little things like
these that we will miss about this home.
7. The flexibility of the space

What we needed most was a home that would change as our needs changed. This home is perfect for entertaining
in any weather but it's also perfect for those days when everyone needs their own space. The transition to spending
most of time at home has been made so much easier when we can all have our separate work and play space.
Between the finished attic and the lower level all family members have the privacy and access they need to take
conference calls, join in on virtual learning, and catch up with friends all simultaneously.
8. Gym! And a bsement that allows everyone to burn off some energy when we can't get outside.

The lower level is definitely something we couldn't live without. Not only does it provide ample storage but it's
become a retreat for us to burn off some energy, whether that be playing games or getting a hard workout in.
9. Our master bedrtoom suite feels like a little enclave.
Between the high ceilings and the terrace the master felt luxiorous from the begining but once we added the
grasscloth wallpaper and lighting it really elevated it. The closets have also been a dream. Having our own personal
space to get ready has made getting dressed that much more enjoyable. Lastly, the bath area is so spacious and light.
The shower might be our favorite of all with it's enourmous size and gorgeous tile work.
10. Close to schools
We love the ability to walk our children to Long Lots Elementary and the minutes it takes us to get to the middle and

high school.Our home is so close that it entices our kids' friends to stop by for a random game of basketball or play
games in lower level.
