15 Essex Road


Dear Future Homeowner,

It seems like such a short time ago that we were in your shoes, looking for a special place we could call home. We already loved living in Maplewood and were looking for something larger and more spacious. The process seemed endless until the moment we walked into this house. The living room was huge, the kitchen was beautiful, and by the time we reached the family room and saw the backyard, we knew we’d found it!  We never looked back, and we have so many good memories here. Family home for the holidays, backyard barbeques, or reading a book on the bench, surrounded by flowering perennials. Great friendly neighbors and a park nearby, too! We’ve loved and taken care of this house, but now we’re downsizing and looking forward to traveling and time with friends. It’s time for new homeowners like you to find the happiness we’ve had here. And you will!
