Home Sweet Home
Laundry Brook
Mud Room
SleepWe went to Jeffersonville Saturday for the home inspection which took hours but turned up little in the way of surprises. There's a carpenter ant problem which we'll ask the owner to fix. Otherwise, the house is very solid considering its age.
The first photo shows the front of the farm house, built in the 1880's. The second floor is for Randy Newman types, ie. short people. Sorry, Mark. Behind the original box are two sections added on which include the kitchen, dining room, laundry and mud room.
Out back is a small rock-dotted stream called Laundry Brook. I kid you not. The houses built along this babbler used the brook for, you guessed it, washing their clothes. Fortunately, we have a back-up system should we need it.
The mud room is a feature every house in the country should have. Our mud room is quite nice and also serves as a screened-in porch. No more piles of shoes and boots to trip on as you enter the side door.
The house has four bedrooms. Pictured above is the master on the second floor. There's another bedroom downstairs for the tall or handicapped.
We hope you'll come stay with us, no matter your height or physical challenges. The house is walking distance to the town, and we've already checked out the Turkish-American restaurant. I'm excited about the soft-serve ice cream stand around the corner, next to the defunct bowling alley. Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes madly licking a cone, sprinkles flying everywhere.

I am completely confused I thought you were moving to NYC with no furniture and a view of the water....Have you sold your house and serenity garden...or are you just aquiring property in as many places as possible!?..going for the property baron title?
We've rented an apt. in NYC's Financial District with a view of the Hudson two blocks west. Still own the house in RI and are perched to buy one in Sullivan County NY. Just call me the Baroness ...
It sounds lovely.
I was a little confused too! Now I understand. I love the new house. As my mother used to say, "Use it in good health."
