I couldn't pass up the agent open house to view this magnificent estate, in Defiance, originally built in the 1840's and referred to as "Bryan Mill". This fully furnished, French inspired 3-story custom home, 2,815+ sq. ft./5 bedrooms/2 full and 2 half bathrooms, sits on 22+ acres with wonderful views. The original cottage was transformed into a luxurious country residence. The early 1800's built stone mill/outbuilding has been beautifully restored, with modern HVAC systems and catering kitchen, is ready for entertaining events. And there is a completely redone custom chicken coup.

Today, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the countless people whose lives were forever changed on September 11, 2001. May we never forget the strength, compassion, and sense of community that brought people together in the days that followed.

Wishing everyone a nice Labor Day Holiday. Chris & I enjoyed a bike ride in Forest Park. Perfect weather for everyone. We visited the Flags of Valor 25th Anniversary Memorial, on Art Hill, that runs through September 13. We made a donation that honors 2 of the 7,620 heroes/victims of 9/11 and service members lost since that date. Every flag represents a life, a family, and a sacrifice that changed everything.

Chris and I want to wish everyone a relaxing, fun Labor Day holiday weekend with your family and friends. We started our weekend at Oceano Bistro - enjoyed the tuna and salmon entrees followed by the desserts, New York style cheesecake and peach cobbler. It is a busy real estate weekend - phone calls and text messages started at 8:00 a.m. The heat & holiday does not stop all the buyers looking for a home. My weekend is busy with listings, showings and negotiating contracts.
