716 Prospect Street-SOLD

*Dear Future Homeowner,*

From the moment we first discovered this home, we felt it—it just felt right. There was something about the quiet beauty of the street, the generous lot, and the warmth of the neighborhood that made us feel like we were already home before we even stepped inside.
Living here has been such a meaningful chapter for our family. It’s where so many of our memories were made—lazy weekend mornings, birthday parties in the backyard, and countless small, everyday moments that turned into some of our most treasured ones. There’s something incredibly grounding about being in a place that holds your laughter, your milestones, your quiet nights and joyful chaos.
One of the things we’ve appreciated most is the sense of community. This neighborhood is vibrant, diverse, and genuinely welcoming. We’ve always felt surrounded by kindness, and the excellent school system has been such a gift for our family. It’s a place that supports families, friendships, and a true sense of connection.
The location has been another thing we’ve loved deeply. The walkability made life feel so full—morning bagel/coffee runs, evening strolls, spontaneous visits to the farmer’s market. And when we wanted a change of pace, having easy access to New York City gave us the best of both worlds: the energy of the city, and the calm, open space of suburban life to return to.
It’s not easy to say goodbye to a place that’s held so much love. But we’re comforted knowing it will soon be home to someone new—someone who will add their own memories, laughter, and life to these walls. We truly believe this home will be as special for your family as it was for ours.
