Why do I have this slab of granite featured in my blog? It’s just a slab of granite…..Why all the fuss…? It’s a loooooong story. But I’ll give you the short version. As you can see, the slab of granite has “The Ritz Carlton” engraved on it – and as such, the slab is there because Mr. Cappelli (wh...

For Manhattanites, Westchester has always seemed  to be some sort of backwater destination.  But with prices in NYC soaring to crazy heights, many city dwellers are taking a second and third look at White Plains, NY -  and with good reason. Downtown White Plains is booming where high-end shopping...

Ichabod’s Landing is name after Ichabod Crane, Washington Irving’s  famous character from the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow.”  This is relatively new construction that was only available for purchase in 2004. Most  notably the complex sits right on the  Hudson River, literally steps from a swath of th...

I have had several wonderful comments about how pretty my dogs are. And as a proud canine mother, I have to admit, I really think they are special! However, I have made pains that most of the photos I take of them show them in their best light. This has led to speculation that they are ALWAYS thi...

Early this evening I took  Jade and Tundra on a trail that I don't take very often...The Tarrytown Lakes.  It's a short flat trail perfect for a casual stroll or vigorous walk.  It is paved and many local residents bike, walk or job this trail quite frequently.  It appears to be a favorite for jo...

RiverWalk is an ambitious plan to create a continuous trailway along the Hudson River from the border of Putnam county in the north and the New York City border in the south. Part of that plan was fulfilled with the high-end townhouse devleopment (to be reviewed later) called Ichabod's Landing in...

The one thing that I have noticed about the Ritz Carlton condominum/hotel complex is that the mirrored glass gives the building different "moods." The cloudy moody day is reflected in the mirrored glass of the building.  I was downtown one cloudy day where rain clouds were threatening to open up ...

The Chateau is an elegant pre-war Tudor complex on North Broadway in White Plains, NY. Most pre-war construction in the area were converted from rentals to coops in the 1980s, so for those who really yearn for pr-war architecture but truly want to live in a condo you should put this complex high ...

A couple of weeks ago I posted some photos of brand new baby goslings out with their "parents" for what appeared to be one of their first outings in Swan Lake.  They were so small that they appeared to be like tiny corks in the water, bobbing up and down -making photos a challenge to take. Well, ...

I was reading some listings from an area just outside my usual territory – trying to get an idea of pricing and condition before heading out on the road. Generally, I know what the condition of the property so some of the public comments fly over me. But tonight was different and while scanning t...
