“Buy the best, and you will only cry once” – Miles Redd

Sunday, February 1, 2015

As we sit in the aftermath of what was not the”Blizzard of the Century”, but in the freezing cold, there is every indication that the Spring market is upon us. Buyers are out and about. It’s “house hunting season” again and nothing speaks louder to me than that quote from Miles Redd!  When you are out looking at properties remember that getting what you really want can happen.  Whether you are buying something that is move-in ready, or you are looking for a project, everyone’s “best house” is out there. You just need to take that leap!

Safe to say I would get a good cry in over this!

Safe to say I would get a good cry in over this and live there happily ever after.

11 Huckleberry Lane, offered by Kate Balanoff through Houlihan Lawrence, is a classic and gracious colonial with six bedrooms, five full and two half baths generously spread out inside 7200 square feet.  Newly built in 2003, it has settled into its own and holds up its end of the bargain as a “classic”.  Bring your kleenex; who knows, maybe you will get a good weep in!  Asking $3,395,000.

This is the house that gives everyone in the family space.

The entry at 11 Huckleberry makes a formidable impression. Big Chic looms here…

My kind of foyer.  Everyone needs to own a really good hall lantern at some point in their lives.

Everyone needs to own a really good hall lantern at some point in their lives. And here would be your opportunity.  I would suggest looking at what Robert Kime has right now.  I think Miles would agree.

Or just start here, looking at what the design world is talking about.

And how he would work that stair case!

And how he would work the upstairs hallway! Another good example of Miles’ talent.  Coincidentally, this house is on the market through Houlihan Lawrence! This house would be a fabulous weekend retreat.

The dining room that has enough wall space to wrap some fabulous wall paper around it.  To say nothing of the dining room table and chairs you will be looking for.  Dinner for 18.

This is the BIG FAMILY KITCHEN you are leaving the City for!

This is the BIG KITCHEN you are leaving the City for! Fabulous, done and that is one gorgeous wood countertop on the island.

And, make no mistake, this family room off the kitchen is where everyone will wind up at the end of the day.  Very comfortable.

Make no mistake, this den at the other end of the kitchen is where everyone will wind up at the end of the day. Very comfortable. Check out some of Robert Kime’s Ikat for this room as well.

One of the chicest "teen" hang outs we have seen. It is nice for the kids to have a their party room too!

Working at home would be a pleasure in this room!

I would say working at home would be quite comfortable here!

11 Huckleberry is able carry the large scale fabulousness that is always burning in the back of our minds.

11 Huckleberry is perfect for large scale pieces; art, or furniture, as well as fabrics and window treatments that make bold statements. This house really presents an opportunity for a fabulous design statement. Have I made my point here?

Miles is the Man for the Job at 11 Huckleberry!
