Our Thanksgiving Wishes

Dianne and I want to take a moment to thank all of our loyal Property Blotter readers and clients for the confidence and support for our work that you’ve shown through the years. On a day like today, we are humbled and grateful for so many things, and YOU rank high on the list : )

Sometimes I go on and get all sappy with you on Thanksgiving (that’s just me…. I get emotional when I think of all the things I have to be grateful for!), but this year I’m going to let someone else pull the heartstrings. I’m attachiing a photo and poem from my friend and poet, Sean Reynolds:

I wish you all;
Pale hills under a yellow moon
amber leaves on dark green lawns
a welcomed chill in the morning air
cartoon balloons and sweet potatoes
with little marshmallows and football

and family and children’s fingers adorned
with olives and naps on the sofa after
wine and pie and laughter—sr

May each of you experience a day of Peace, Abundance, and Love.

Happy Thanksgiving,
Linda & Dianne

Featured Property: 1421 Laburnum Way

1421 Laburnum Way
I am proud to introduce my new listing at 1421 Laburnum Way.

Located in the Palisades neighborhood, this house is elegantly situated on a corner lot. The setting is stately and has a commanding grandeur amungst the trees and lawns of the surrounding houses.

Priced at $259,900, this is an exceptional value. There are 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a formal dining room and living room, a family room, and a bonus room. The house was built in 1965. It is in need of cosmetic updating, but the house has “good bones”. There are solid-core wood doors, wood windows, hardwood floors under carpets, and wonderful mill work that includes the gorgeous fireplace mantel in the living room.

If you’d like to see this house, give me a call. I am happy to make an appointment to show you the interior.
