Dear Future Homeowners

Welcome to one of the most open and welcoming homes in Maplewood. When my family and I spent a Spring roaming from open house to open house looking for the ideal home, it was clear right when we walked in the door that 166 was the (* the is italicized for emphasis) house. We were immediately drawn to the vast main floor - the living room featuring three large windows, the dining room that could easily host a large dinner party, the kitchen that was meant to have a Thanksgiving meal cooked in it along with a large office and extra bright family room in the back. Our love for our house has only grown throughout our time here. After we moved in, we found out that the magic of 166 wasn’t just inside the home, but also in the strong community on Oakland Road. As neighborhood kids walk by our home on the way to Maplecrest Park they run up our stoop to invite all our kids to join them. Our neighborhood has become great friends, often putting all our Adirondack chairs in our front yards and gathering for weekend beer hangs while we monitor the group of neighborhood kids running from one backyard to another, finding their way to the best trampolines and slides along the street. From backyard fire pits, to the birth of our third child, to obstacle course building in the basement, it is incredible how many memories can be tucked into this home. Around town we have spent quite a bit of time hiking in South Mountain, splashing around in the downtown creek, and hanging out at the Maplewood pool. We have also enjoyed the delicious food SOMA has to offer and highly recommend Arturos for wood fired pizza, the Bread Stand for coffee and pastries, and Lorenas for a special night out. We’ve taken great pride in caring for this house and adding improvements along the way. We had planned to raise our family in this house, but opportunities close to family in Michigan caused us to change course. We hope you enjoy living in this house and in our community as much as we have.
