WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT OUR HOME...
We moved into our treasured home when our older daughter was 2 and were expecting our second. The past 16 years on Hereford Drive have been absolutely wonderful. We knew when we bought the house that being able to walk to the train was essential for commuting to NYC but we didn’t expect to be greeted by such warm and friendly neighbors that have become dear friends and companions for our kids over the years. We have such fond memories of walking our children to Maurice Hawk Elementary and then later seeing them off as they walked on their own to West Windsor Plainsboro South. We went to great lengths to make dramatic improvements to our home so that we could entertain regularly in our open kitchen and have gatherings and sports games in our expansive backyard. As book lovers, we would spend many weekend afternoons in the office, reading by the windows cuddled with our dogs. We went from watching the kids on the playset to hosting barbecues in our back patio and roasting marshmallows over the solo stove. Our kids loved having friends over for movie nights and sleepovers in the basement, a game of pick-up basketball in the driveway, or just a bike ride to the pizza place. Meanwhile, we would retire to our spacious master suite which was always relaxing, quiet and private. Raising athletic kids, having the mudroom entry from garage was life-saving as they could leave all their dirty gear and toss things right in the laundry. We were also fortunate to find high caliber tennis coaches in the area and after years of playing tennis, we will be seeing our older off to college this Fall at Harvard University playing D1 tennis. We will miss our beautiful home and will leave with so many amazing memories. We wish the new owners all the best and much happiness on Hereford Drive.
