Suburbs have their benefits. But sometimes, you want to trade the oversized kitchen for a walk to dinner, the car for the Red Line, and the lawnmower for the local beach.

This move was all about finding a home that fit the lifestyle they wanted, not just a house that checked the boxes, and that's what we love about real estate: helping our clients find a place that makes sense for how they actually want to live.

Thinking about making a move? Let’s find a home that fits your life.

Some homes make you stop scrolling. This was one of them.

We recently came across Cabin ANNA by , and we couldn’t help but share it. This incredible modular cabin is designed to transform with its surroundings, with sliding wooden and glass shells that can open the space up to nature or provide a cozy retreat from the elements.

Thoughtfully designed and beautifully crafted, this is the kind of architecture that reminds us that a home can be so much more than just four walls.

What do you think? Could you see yourself escaping to a cabin like this?

Hello, September!

It's the first of the month and the cooler air is drifting in, signaling a return to...hot coffee! You thought we were going to say school, didn't you. Well, there's that too. 🍎 📚 🚌

We scour every neighborhood we visit for the best coffee shop, because you never know when you're going to need to top up.

Our favorites are:
☕ Liz: Café Zing
☕ Ellie: Asaro Bakery and Cafe
☕ Mae: Capeca Cafe

Now it’s your turn. What’s your favorite local coffee shop, or what’s your go-to coffee order? Tell us in the comments. We’re always looking for a new spot to try.

Some late-summer sunshine!

If you haven’t made it to the Sunflower Spectacular at The Garden at Elm Bank in Wellesley, there’s still time. The Pick-Your-Own Sunflower Field has been extended through Sunday, August 30.

Wander through thousands of blooming sunflowers, pick a few to bring home, and explore the 36-acre Garden at Elm Bank.

A few of our favorite things: beautiful gardens, a little time outside, and some sunshine to take home with you.

"I was referred to Liz by my son and his wife, who had worked with her to buy a home in Cambridge MA. So when I was planning to move from New York City to be nearer to them they recommended I work with her.

I was not an easy client. While I was moving voluntarily, I was also leaving a home I loved , a city I had grown up in and friends I had since childhood. And like some New Yorkers, I was one of those who took pride in living in the best city in the world.

Liz understood my ambivalence about the move and she was respectful and also curious about what I was leaving behind. We spent many days together visiting the many neighborhoods in the Boston area. Her lack of pressure, her respect for my feelings, and her patience were just what the doctor ordered.

Liz is also a lovely person. That is relevant because we spent a lot of time together and it felt like catching up with a friend while sharing an adventure. Liz got to know me and my taste so when she said she had a special apartment to show me that she heard was about to go to market, she invited me back to Boston to take a look.

And as I write this, I am packing my possessions and waiting for the moving truck coming in a few days."

This "just sold" home means a lot to us! (Not to mention to the happy buyer and buyer agent who helped make it happen! 🎉)

Why does this one mean so much? Because of our seller — after over a decade leading large-scale apartment and commercial developments across Boston, this marks her first personal renovation project, and she knocked it out of the park. This was a great Somerville condo full of potential: open layout, private balcony, dedicated parking, and an unbeatable location near Magoun Square and the Green Line, in need of an overhaul. It's been so exciting watching her bring her vision to life, and we can't wait to see what she takes on next. 🛠️✨

A little architectural appreciation from Liz’s trip to Philly.

She was kind enough to keep an eye out for some of the city’s beautiful buildings while she was there, and honestly, Philly makes it pretty easy.

From historic churches and ornate details to the skyline views, there’s so much character tucked into the city. We love a good building with a story.

Which one would you stop to admire?

Liz’s dad has been saving his copies of The New Yorker for her, carefully setting them aside, circling his favorite articles and crossing out the ones he deems not worthy (sorry, Adam Gopnik, yer out).

As a result, Liz lugged this small stack home from Philadelphia, because how could she not? A little reading, a little family love, and a whole lot of New Yorkers.

A little summer, through Ellie’s lens.

Sunflowers in bloom, Blueberry picking, and those summer evenings when the sky seems to put on a show of its own. There’s something about this time of year that makes you want to slow down and appreciate the little things happening right in your own backyard.

How’s your summer going so far? What’s been your favorite little summer moment?
