The Labor Day weekend was celebrated at Rye Playland with a fabulous fireworks finale. While for the past two months, every Wednesday and Friday evenings were marked with a fireworks display, nothing captures the end of the summer more than the Labor Day finale. Mark, Vicky, Zack and I (lifetime friends), were filled with emotion and awe as we witnessed the night sky.

The historical and magical background of the Playland Amusement Park dates back to 1928 and is still the only county government-owned park in the United States. In 1987 it was declared an historical landmark, saluting the art deco architecture and rich history that took place here. The boardwalk we strolled that evening overlooks the Long Island Sound and the fresh night air was the perfect antidote for the stresses of the day. Please sit back and share the beauty of the night with us:

My new listing in the Southeastern section of White Plains has caught the imagination of agents and buyers alike. This Cape Colonial handyman special is set in a most bucolic private enclave and has already got buyers thinking what possibilities it holds. Houses like this still require that buyers do their research before they jump in, but it was a well built structure that grew old like its owners!

Check out the full listing and “dream on too.” These so called “fixer-uppers” give buyers an opportunity to design their own kitchen and baths and customize their home for their taste and needs. The property is sublime and makes you feel as though you are in an oasis of calm… much needed by all today. The gardens and trees are calling for someone who appreciates the unique setting this is. Houses and settings like this do not come along often, check it out while it lasts.
