Dear Future Homeowners
We bought this house 22 years ago, after living in Hong Kong for three years. We were desperately looking for a town close to NY for work, and near grandparents in Connecticut and southern NJ. We visited a friend in Maplewood and fell in love. The property market was a Seller’s market, just like now. Everyone we knew was being outbid and losing out on the houses they were already half in love with. We felt so lucky when this house was a match for us and our daughter. Maplewood, and this house have become part of the fabric of our family. We have raised four children here and have loved giving them the experience of growing up in such an amazing community. Maplewood has given us friends we will have for the rest of our lives. We have celebrated graduations, birthdays, endless holidays, proms and lacrosse championships all in this dear house. We have loved summer evenings on the patio having drinks with friends while the kids chase fireflies and we have loved winter evenings in the living room with the fireplace giving the room a cozy glow while snow piles up outside. We hope you make lasting friendships that you find through rec sports, preschool and cooking classes at the Adult school. We hope you roast marshmallows in your firepit on the patio and that your kids learn to ride their bikes in the park down the street. We hope your home is filled with friends and family who will love to gather here on New Year’s Eve and for Thanksgiving where you’re sure they all won’t fit, but somehow this house expands with love and everyone always seems to fit with room to spare. We could have lived in this house forever, but our family commitments have changed and suddenly we find ourselves needing a different house for the next chapter of our lives. We hope this house will be part of your next chapter. Best wishes for a beautiful future, The Current Homeowners of 16 Elberta Road
