Good morning Joanna, it is sad that the owner can no longer live in such great place with awesome views of the Hudson River. My condo had beautiful views of the Hudson River, I do miss it...

Good morning, Joanna -- setting the proper stage should allow buyers to see the best features of the property and you've certainly done that with this thoughtful transformation.  Wonderfully written.   Here's to a successful sale for your client.  

And yes, a beautiful view is a terrific feature.

Love all your comments Sally K. & David L.

Hi there Tateleh!! The photos Roger D. Mucci are kind of dark but I hope you can see them well enough.  A professional photographer is definitely needed!  Hope Mickey is feeling better - thinking of you both.

I love your changes - but must agree, that river will steal the show. It would be worth it to purchase this home for the view alone - and make updates when finances allow. Great job, Joanna and Happy Friday to you.

That's good news James Dray - I bet you know a lot about southern hospitality!

Hey Noah Seidenberg the Hudson River offers some real breathtaking scenery.  Have you been here?

Good afternoon Sharon Tara thank you so much - I hope so too!

Hey there Ron and Alexandra Seigel wishing you two a great weekend as well and thanks for stopping by.  Lighting is critical in a home - too many homes are underlit and it matters even more now when people are moving away from tables and lamps!

Good evening Debb Janes and thanks for stopping by.  Glad you like the changes but could not agree with you more.  Wishing you and Bernie a wonderful weekend!

Nobody tells a story better than you. You have vision and hope. You always find something unique, good, and interesting. And you tell the truth about what needs to go and what is worth keeping. Now that view is a keeper!

I hope the woman's house sells quickly so that she gets the care she needs to live out the remainder of her days with quality and dignity.
