Dear Future Homeowners

211 Jacoby was the first house we walked into on our search. We instantly fell in love even though we had a long day ahead of us with many more houses to look at. But by the end of the day, we had to go back and see it again. Our initial feeling was right, this was the home for us.

What we fell in love with was the sense of original charm and character the house had seemed to maintain throughout the years. The original woodwork and picture molding on the walls felt unique yet familiar to us. And with 4 levels of finished living space, we had room for everything we needed at the time or might need in the future as a growing family. It did not disappoint. From the birth of our daughter to living, working, and schooling from home during a pandemic, this house never failed to adapt and provide for our needs as life changed around us.

We love the accessibility and diversity of our neighborhood. Every morning we walk our daughter to school sometimes stopping in to grab a pastry from The Bread Stand. It’s hard to resist when the smell of fresh bread greets you from a block away. Maplewood’s downtown village and train station are an easy 7-minute drive or you can just catch the jitney a few houses down on the corner. DeHart Park is also walkable and has a playground, track, baseball field, and basketball courts. You’ll find everyone outside on a nice day and the sense of community in our neighborhood and throughout Maplewood is heartwarming.

We’ve enjoyed so many things about this house in our nearly 10 years here: summer cookouts on the back deck, family movie and game nights, being surrounded by a full table of friends for Thanksgiving, and yes, even extended in-law visits - thank goodness for that extra full bathroom in the basement. Leaving is bittersweet but we know that it will give as much love and support to you and your family as it has given to us.

We hope you’ll get the same joy we did from this charming house as you start to make it your home. It has wrapped us in so many memories and we hope it hugs you in the same welcoming, comforting, and loving way.
