CT RIVER, DIRECT WATERFRONT HADDAM, CT
Peaceful Retreat
Picture yourself here, the owners simple description is that you actually feel like you're living ON the water when you're here. One of the most peaceful sites I've come across as a Realtor in 20 years. This re-build of a waterfront cottage was inspired by the traditional charm of New England cottages. The owners re-built this year round home from the ground up with watchful eyes on craftsmanship and attention to detail, and waterfront living. Every corner reflects simplicity and comfort. This adorable cottage feels like a retreat once inside.
Location, Location, Location
Located on a quiet road behind Eagle Landing State Park (16 preserved acres), near the historic Swing Bridge, connecting Haddam and East Haddam. This area is sought after for many reasons. The birding is so special that Audubon Connecticut and CT DEEP recently announced the establishment of an Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in this part of the Lower CT River Valley. You'll also be tucked away in your own private home with a front row seat to the most spectacular foliage tour on the shoreline. Others not so fortunate will board an excursion train on the Essex Stream Train and Riverboat. The Goodspeed Opera House sits northerly across the CT River and has been a major attraction for live plays for over 50 years.

Friendly Neighborhood on Private Lot
FOURTH BEDROOM ADDS VALUE
SO many employees are working from home these days. The fourth bedroom typically translates to home office and this one has the best view in the house, it looks out to the private wooded backyard and serene landscape.
BREATHE RELAX
This could be your new home. Move right in. The color palette and the quality improvements will immediately set you at ease in this relaxing 4 bedroom house set in the woods of a private cul-de-sac subdivision.
THE ELUSIVE YARD AWAITS
Finding a level yard in the northeast is sometimes like finding a needle in the haystack. This one has it.....no misleading pictures that leave you disappointed upon visiting the home, just a purely enjoyable lot with flat topography. Another benefit is that the driveway is a gentle grade resulting in LOW stress winters and easy access.
EVERYONE LIKES NEW
New roof, new septic tank, new heating system, new interior paint, just move right in and not lift a finger. This leaves you free to spend you money on other improvements you'd enjoy.
Call me for a private tour of this quintessential new England home.

Real Estate Deals to be Had
2015 - A Year for "Deals to be Had"
Happy New Year! The most asked question I get lately is "how's the market, Jody?" A loaded question to be sure. Although, the bottom line is that it looks like a good year coming our way.
2014 was a very productive year in real estate in CT. Buyers and sellers alike saw some very good deals. The numbers tell the whole story but those are somewhat technical. Working full time as a realtor in the Beautiful Lower CT River Valley for almost 20 years I can feel that there are some positive changes coming for the area. Not only did inventory levels even out but bank owned properties were less of a factor in determining market price. (If you'd like the full statistics please let me know and I'll send them to you.)
As the year begins I am already excited to see some really great deals out there, deals that don't have unrealistic asking prices, deals that are easily financed, deals that will not take months to close. This is the time to get your feet wet if you'd like to start looking. And remember whether you are buying or selling looking at houses is important. It is my job and I take your real estate needs seriously.
REASONS TO GET YOUR FEET IN THE MARKET AND LOOK AT HOUSES:
1. It is not a waste of my time, it is only an opportunity to educate you on market prices.
2. The right time comes sooner than you would think, the more you see the more you know.
3. If you need to sell first looking at homes, now, will help you understand pricing to sell.
4. Only serious sellers/buyers are in the market at this time which means negotiations will have results.
5. Looking now helps narrow down focus and goals to achieve your ultimate goal of a well priced deal.
Get in touch with me if you'd like to talk about upgrading/downsizing and we can begin a plan of action for your real estate needs.
