I've seen a lot of new construction in my 10+ years of doing this and let's be honest... Many of today's modern builds look the same if you squint. 🤷‍♀️

This one is different. She's modern and contemporary but somehow timeless. This was an absolute passion project from the architect/builder and it shows not just in the overall design, but in every detail from the Italian terracotta siding down to the beautiful inlay door hinges. She's sexy and she knows it. 💅

Almost 3,600 square feet, all on one level, and yes, it's as sprawling and impressive as that sounds. Nineteen foot ceilings with a fireplace to match.🔥 Massive eight foot glass sliders on both sides so you're looking straight through the house into the trees. A cedar sauna, marble bathrooms and counters, a saline lounge pool with a granite floor, and a pool house wrapped in shou sugi ban with a bioclimatic pergola. (look it up 🤓)

There's more. A lot more. But I've got posts to fill and coming up with content is hard, so I'm pacing myself. 😅

Quiet road in Stone Ridge, minutes to High Falls, Accord, and Kingston. Tell me which detail you can't live without in your own home. DM for a private showing. Link in my bio.

"We have a new house!!" Those texts never get old. 💜

This one took some grit. My buyer came to me through a past client (the best compliment in this business), sold her home in Arizona, and hit the road to move back closer to her kids. 🚗 Unfortunately, that meant months of hotels and Airbnbs while we searched.

We got outbid. We met a few sellers living in their own reality. 😵‍💫 Then we finally got an accepted offer, and the inspection turned up foundation problems and years of water damage. Telling a client to walk away from a house she loved, knowing it meant more hotel life, is one of the hardest calls in this job. But I could feel that one was a money pit in my bones, and I couldn't stay quiet.

She trusted me, and thank goodness because the next house was THE house. 🏡 A 1920s beauty with a newer roof and systems, on what might be the most postcard-perfect street in Poughkeepsie. We even met the neighbors, who were an absolute delight. It truly felt meant to be. 💫

Welcome home, my friend. I can finally sleep at night knowing we found you a good one. 😴

Hurley (AKA Snowball) crossed the rainbow bridge earlier this month. I'm only now able to write about it. It happened while I was on a plane flying west for my dad's memorial, which was about as much as my heart could take in a week.💔

A police officer found him on the streets of the Bronx in a condition I'm not going to post pictures of. The angels at NYC Second Chance Rescue got him out, a couple of fosters got him steady, and then he was ours. He was deaf and blind, he had arthritis, dementia, anxiety and significant heart issues. Otherwise he was perfect. 🤷‍♀️😅 He'd cry when I left the room or even just when he couldn't see me. He was also ornery as hell. Bath time, eye cleanings, picking him up, anything he didn't want done to him, and he'd come at you with the few teeth he had left. The thing is, nobody had been gentle with him before. We got more patient, he got less defensive, and over time we learned each other's language.

The part that still gets me is that he didn't know how to dog. He'd never been given the chance. But every so often, you'd get a glimpse of what could have been. The other dogs would get worked up about something and he'd perk up like "wait, what's going on?" and get his little arthritic hop going. When I got home from work, he'd muster up all his energy to wobble to the door and give me little kisses on my hand. He'd get his version of the zoomies after his bath. He would give picture perfect puppy eyes when he wanted the food you were eating. In the end, we could pick him up without issue and he would sleep on your chest for hours if you let him. 💜💜

He was a doodle. We're fairly certain he was used for breeding and then thrown out. Adopt, don't shop. And if you can, look at the seniors. The gray faces wait the longest, and they know exactly what you did for them.

Hardest thing we've ever done. We'd do it again tomorrow. 💗🐾🌈

Just listed in Olivebridge 🌿

Nearly seven park-like acres that feel like your own little state park, minus the rangers. Inside, a dramatic great room with soaring vaulted wood ceilings and light pouring in from every direction. It's built for gathering, whether that's a quiet weekend or a house full of noisy friends (like mine🙄) spilling out onto the deck.

And about that deck... Built in 2023, it wraps nearly the whole way around the house and works as a true outdoor living room, hot tub included 🛀 There's also an all-seasons sunroom, a screened porch (forever an outdoor-living game changer), and a fire pit out back. The sunny lawn practically demands a garden party. Badminton not optional.

Minutes to the Ashokan Reservoir and Rail Trail, with Stone Ridge, High Falls, INNESS, Arrowood Farms, and Westwind Orchard & Cidery nearby 🌳

A full day of showings calls for a full car concert 🎤 Hudson Valley weather was perfection, windows were down, this throwback by the queen Miss Jill Scott was up 👑 I'll never be as cool as her, but for one drive home from Poughkeepsie I could have sworn I was. Happy Monday, go sing something. What's on your car karaoke rotation?
