TOP 10 THINGS WE'LL MISS ABOUT
                                                                        LIFE AT 3141 NORTH STREET



                                                  1.   The quiet and seclusion that comes with living on a country lane
                                                leading to a 180 acre nature preserve.




                                             2.   Sitting on the upper deck with a coffee in the early morning with the
                                            dogs watching the birds and other wildlife.




                                          3.   A quick 10 minute ride to the train for commuting to Manhattan. The
                                          contrast was amazing in that you could enjoy the vibrancy of the City during
                                          the day and in the evening return to the quiet and restfulness of our home.




                                          4.   Intimate dinners in front of the fireplace in the great room. Lots of long
                                          nights, great wine and conversation.




                                           5.   Having family and friends tell us how well they slept and how restful and
                                           relaxing it was being here.




                                            6.   We loved entertaining here as the space allowed us to use our
                                             imaginations for all sorts of fun events. For example, we had a hoedown
                                             complete with fiddler and pit BBQ in the grotto.




                                             7.   Our Christmas open house for friends and family.




                                             8.   We will miss the variety of wildlife families (deer, rabbits, groundhogs,
                                             turkeys) that would make their homes on or close to the property. Make
                                             sure you have binoculars close by for all of the bird species.




                                            9.   The complete lack of traffic is what living in the country is supposed to
                                           be about. Saturday mornings were usually marked with a trip down to the
                                           Mercato with one of the dogs to pick up a coffee and a paper.



                                       10.   Being so close to nature - so quiet so that you could hear the wind in the
                                      trees as a new front move through the area, the clear star-lit night sky, the wildlife
                                    and the changing seasons on the property.
