13-15 Plymouth Avenue

Dear Future Homeowner,

Fifteen years ago, we carried our 8-month-old baby through the front door of this house, her little body nestled in a car seat we had driven from Brooklyn. We were stepping into more than just a house—we were stepping into our bucolic dream.

We bought this house from a lovely family, who raised their five children here. From the moment we walked in, we could feel it—this house had been loved. No ghosts, no strange energy, just warmth. Sunlight streamed through the windows, and every room felt open, peaceful, and ready to embrace us.  We have been so grateful to continue that legacy, filling this home with laughter, love, and the beautiful chaos of family life.


From day one, this home became a part of our story. We remember setting up the nursery just steps from our bedroom, sneaking in at night to watch our daughter sleep. Each morning, her little smile was lit up from the sun coming in through the south facing windows. We watched her take her first wobbly steps in our bedroom, circling us with pride and determination. From walking to running to Volleyball matches and club tournaments. This house was made for childhood magic. Watching her and her friends giggling as they ran through the sprinkler in the summer and making snow angels and snowmen in the front yard in the winter. We gave her the childhood we dreamed of while sitting on the floor of our tiny Brooklyn apartment, wondering if we should take the leap and move to the suburbs. It was the best decision we ever made.

Beyond the walls of this home, we found a community that embraced not just our family, but those we love. Without family nearby, having room for an in-law suite was a gift, allowing our parents and siblings to visit often, to help, and to be part of our daughter’s life in a way that distance had once made difficult. With our incredible SOMA friends, we hosted holidays, birthday parties, and sleepovers. 

This house has held everything—our quietest moments and our loudest joys and was a comfort to us when the usual challenges came. It has been a place where life happened in the most profound way. It’s so hard to leave, but we do so with full hearts, knowing that we are ready for the next phase of our journey to begin. We are so excited for the next family that will write their own story here. We hope you feel the warmth and love the moment you walk through the door, just as we did.

We are writing this with tears in our eyes, because these memories are so special and they sound too good to be true.  But it is all true.  Maplewood was the best decision we could have ever made; it will be the best decision you make too.  We wish you all the love that a house can hold.
