Simply a gorgeous morning in the prestigious area of Paine Heights where the annual Paine to Pain Half Marathon took place this morning. The New Ro Runners Race Club always outdo themselves in this wonderful event. Here is the history of the race. I arrived later.. and so was only able to catch the start of the third wave and the 4th wave. My loss! New Rochelle- a great city in which to live! New Rochelle is GREAT! 1 1 8
I have had the pleasure of marketing some wonderful homes. One such home is 229 Paine Avenue, New Rochelle. Priced at $1,125,000 with 6 bedrooms, 3817 square feet, and located in the prestigious area of Paine Heights. New Rochelle. I like to be creative in my marketing, and decided to serve wine and cheese at one such Broker’s Open House. It is a wonderful way in which to remind the agents that the home is available, and everyone loves free food! There are also many agents who have never seen a home be it they have other appointments, inspections, and so it is always appropriate to have as many broker open houses as required until the home is sold. Here I am (top right) with some fellow Julia B. Fee Associates Cate Jarrett, (top left), Kathy Tamagna (bottom left), and Jeanne Kiern...
It seems that I write a blog post each year on this very subject, but it always bears repeating! New Rochelle is so close to the city, and it is so representative of beautiful Tudor Homes, Colonial homes, Mediterraneans, Mid Century modern homes, ranches that it is always the perfect location for movies, commercials and television series. These past few weeks, we have seen trucks, excitement and many people filing on Broadview and Forest Avenues. The name of the upcoming television series? “Thanksgiving.” Two guesses as to when it will be aired! Ha! This particular TV series was filmed in both the Paine Heights area, and the Forest Heights area. I am privileged to have a listing in both of these areas. 229 Paine Avenue is a beautiful Georgian Colonial in the prestigious Paine Heigh...

What is an irrigation well? It is a wonderful green feature that some astute and intelligent home owners are utilizing. It enables the home owner to collect water in a well, and to use that water for watering the lawn, plants, washing a car, and over time, the initial outlay of cost will pay for itself. The owners of 229 Paine Avenue decided to install an irrigation well in their backyard, and love it! It collects and then pumps 55 gallons a minute (if required), and they will never be without water as a result of the installation. Perfect! New Rochelle is GREAT!
April 16th was THE day! The New Rochelle Historical Society worked hard to produce the Thomas Paine Museum and Cottage Colonial Fair, and the hard work truly paid off! There were soldiers teaching the youngsters how to march (” Turn right, your other right!…”) , how to cook, how the blacksmiths worked so hard over the bellows and hot coals, how to play with the hobby horses, how to make candles…. a great learning experience for all who attended. Of course, there were some yummy foods to buy also such as hot dogs and hamburgers! New Rochelle is GREAT!
