Summer knocked lightly on the door of New York City today. Ah… how I would love to have had a country…better yet… a lake house today! How nice it would be if we (Mike and I) had a cute little house in upstate New York… For those who don’t know certain parts of upstate New York, it is a little bit cooler there than here in New York City/Queens (at the least the mountainous areas). Besides the mountains and valleys you have lakes and ponds, lots of trees, rivers and creeks, and a laid back lifestyle!
Well, I am going to tell you something that is still a secret… Well, it’s still a secret because it’s still a tiny little idea! Mike and I start talking about buying the dream country/lake house as a weekend/summer house! I am so excited that I can’t stop thinking and searching for houses on the Internet! So in this post I would like to share those delightful and charming inspirations with you! Who knows? Maybe you can become our neighbor up there!

Hi Renata,
ReplyDeleteI love your site and this post!
In helping NYC buyers purchase their dream country getaway it is amazing how many of them say it is better than a weekly therapy session.
The cool thing about this area is that some of us work as buyers agents, unlike NYC, where everyone works for the seller. In doing so I offer services too lengthy to name here but the seller pays the commission so it is a no brainer in terms of a good deal. Here is a blog a couple from London wrote about me as their buyer's agent. They bought a 17th century stone house & converted it into the most lovely B & B :http://stonehousebandb.blogspot.com/2009/01/cooking-and-friends.html
If anyone is considering investing in a getaway in the beautiful Hudson River Valley please contact me. I work really hard for my clients but am not pushy in any way.
Best regards,

Hi Tecia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for writing me back! I am glad you liked the post. I am going to take a look in the blog you mentioned... I love stone houses! They are my favorites in the countryside.
You might become our agent in the future... when we are really ready to start our "search adventure" in upstate NY!
Warm regards,
Renata Gross
I am so excited for you. I am already imaging your creativity and talent as part of your lake house. Big hug from Simone Alexandrino
