Dear Future Homeowners of 103 Midland Boulevard
I remember distinctly being where you are today. Over 11 years ago, I knew Maplewood was the place for me as it had everything I desired in a community – great old housing stock, beautiful green spaces, a vibrant downtown, progressive values and of course proximity to my job in New York City – I just didn’t know which one of these beautiful houses would be my home until I found 103 Midland. Walking into the living room, I was charmed by the original details of the leaded glass doors and beautiful stained-glass windows. I learned that the trim throughout the first floor was American Chestnut, a tree that has been virtually extinct for decades. After closing on the now vacant home, I remember sitting in the living room and enjoying the light streaming in through the front windows and the open sky off in the distance – I knew I was home. I have loved living in this house. It has supported me through many life transitions and graciously adapted to my needs. The smallest room on the second floor, once a bedroom, became a delightful home office once working from home became a reality. This house has comfortably hosted large, family gatherings around the dining room table just as graciously as tiny gatherings with friends hanging at the kitchen peninsula. I’ve obsessed over every detail of every update to this home – it has been important to me to create a beautiful, functional space that respects the integrity of this now nearly 100-year-old home. I hope that you can feel the love that has been poured into it. There is a great sense of community here on Midland Boulevard. Not only will you find amazing neighbors on either side and across the street, but you’ll also find that the long stretch of Midland Boulevard is filled with community-minded people who are always looking out for one another and happy to stop to engage in conversation and get to know each other. I have always felt like I’ve hit the jackpot when I think about the people this home has brought into my life. Over the next couple of months, the gardens will come back into full bloom. I am excited for you to see them and hope that you will take pleasure in their beauty. But even more, I hope that your life here will also come into full bloom. It has for me. I hadn’t plan to sell my home at this time, but a job opportunity closer to family in Connecticut has altered my path. I hope you find as much joy living here in this home and neighborhood as I have.
