2 Hemlock Court
Dear Future Homeowner,
2 Hemlock is perfectly designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen quickly became the heart of our home - where meals were prepared, homework was supervised, and conversations flowed while keeping an eye on kids in the family room. The large rooms made hosting holidays and gatherings a joy, and we created countless memories here, including a 90th birthday party and other very special occasions.
Some of our very best moments were spent outdoors. The backyard and patio hosted cornhole tournaments, wiffle ball games, and spontaneous neighborhood gatherings—everyone always welcome. More recently, we added a “Tiki Hut,” which is a favorite spot for friends and neighbors to stop by, watch a game, enjoy a fire, and share a glass of wine. Dining outside and relaxing here brought us so much peace.
When the weather doesn't cooperate, the basement is our go-to space for fun and flexibility. Over the years, it transformed with our family’s needs - from a hangout room filled with TV, video games, and endless rounds of Just Dance and Wii Bowling (legendary!), to a workout space where our daughter spent hours building her athletic skills.
One of our very favorite aspects of 2 Hemlock is the primary bedroom and bath. The size, privacy, and comfort made it a perfect retreat—whether for quiet solitude or cozy moments with the kids. Coming from a much smaller bedroom, this space felt like a luxury we appreciated every day.
An unforgettable memory was our first big snowstorm here. While we shoveled, the kids were sledding down the front yard hill - great practice for future adventures at Bolden School and Floods Hill. If you enjoy a thrill, sledding at Floods Hill is a must!
The walkability to town has been a true gift. Being able to stroll to the train, grab dinner, or enjoy local favorites made life here so convenient and enjoyable. Village Trattoria, St. James Gate (a must!), Able Baker, and Village Coffee quickly became staples for us—and although it’s a short drive, Park Wood Diner is absolutely worth it.
We hope you love this home as much as we did - and as much as the families before us did, too. Just this past year, a couple who owned the house in the 1980s stopped by and shared their own beautiful memories of raising their family here. This home truly carries a legacy of love.
We wish you nothing but happiness, laughter, and wonderful memories in your new beginning at 2 Hemlock.
Warmest wishes,
From the Current Homeowners of 2 Hemlock Ct

FAVORITE FEATURES
The primary bedroom suite is a true retreat- no shared walls with other bedrooms, offering wonderful privacy while still feeling connected to the rest of the home.
Every room is generously sized, making everyday living and entertaining effortless and comfortable.
The kitchen is exceptionally well designed and functions beautifully for both daily life and gatherings.
The patio is a favorite spot for relaxed dinners and game nights, and it’s perfect for entertaining.
The finished lower level became the natural hangout- when the kids were younger, their friends headed straight downstairs to be together.
The cul-de-sac and neighborhood create an incredible sense of community, with kids playing outside and walking to Bolden Park.
When the children were little, the front hill was just right for “practice sledding” before graduating to the bigger hills—simple, joyful memories made at home.
