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.
