The house is characterized by beautiful architectural details, elegant and grandly scaled rooms, high ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and pastoral vistas from every room. Numerous terraces surrounding the house overlook expansive lawns and offer opportunities for al fresco entertaining and relaxing. Enhancing are newly designed additions that blend seamlessly with the original structures. They include the carriage house, 6 car garage, gym, pool and pool house, along with the extensively restored stable & barn, all set amid secluded rolling hills, woods and open fields.

How magnificent is this opportunity? How about a 55 and over development in a vineyard?! Beautiful one level cottages, use the current building as the “CLUB HOUSE” to host events etc... There would be NOTHING like this anywhere in this area. (Potential for a STUNNING estate house on a VINEYARD!!!) Currently operates as a winery but could possibly be converted into a stunning estate home. Imagine living on 40 acres in the middle of a vineyard!! As pioneers in East Coast viticulture, Sand Castle Winery was founded in 1974 combining European and American tradition to create world class, premium wine. Four European vinifera grapes on almost 40 acres with 17 mile views of the bucolic Delaware River. The Central Delaware Valley is recognized by the government as a designated viticultural district, one of the few places in the world where Cabernet, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Noir can grow with equal success. All Sand Castle wines are made exclusively from grapes grown on the property, earning the esteemed label of estate grown and also well known for their Alpine Spice. The painstaking attention to quality is a large investment that limits production and yields superior wine. The 21,000 sq ft chateau includes a Vineyard Terrace, the second floor Grand Hall, an expansive tasting room, and 7,000 sq ft wine cellar. Daily wine tastings, private tastings, events, and is a distinctive location for parties and weddings. This property also offers the opportunity for a private residence. Turn the current chateau into your home with the vineyard right in your back yard. Enjoy daily rides along the almost 60 mile long tow path, hiking, kayaking, tubing, and some of the most amazing restaurants that rival those of NYC. This property offers so much more so bring your vision and your dreams.

Five Tips For Creating An Extra Cozy Home

During the winter, colder temperatures or stormy weather encourage people to spend their time inside rather than outdoors. To find maximum comfort in your home during this time, it needs to be as cozy as possible. But how do you maximize the coziness of your house, making it a place where you and your visitors can feel warm and at ease?

Let’s look at five tips to make your home as cozy as possible this season.

People typically immediately notice lighting when they enter a home, and spreading out your lighting is an essential part of setting up a comfortable atmosphere. A single overhead light can feel uncomfortable. You should have lighting coming from multiple sources, such as candles, lamps, and overhead lights.

Winter is a time of the year when trees lose their leaves and plants wilt away. This can be depressing, but inside you control the conditions. Plants and flowers can brighten a space during the colder seasons and evoke comfort and life. Organic material has a soothing effect on people, so make sure you are sprucing up your rooms with greenery and flowers. Plants and flowers are great accessorizing materials for a home that add lush colors and pleasant scents, not to mention help in purifying the air you breathe. In the cold months, they go a long way toward providing comfort and calm.

When thinking of the word “cozy,” the brain typically goes to “warmth.” That is the right inclination, and homeowners should seek to create a warm environment while maintaining a chic design. Tile and wood floors can get cold in the winter, so rugs can provide warmth while adding colors to a room. Pillows and blankets have a similar effect to rugs and will help you feel snug and cozy when relaxing on the couch. These additions make a home more comfortable and add touches of color and texture.

Color is a defining part of ambiance. Every color evokes a different feeling, whether the frosty cold of a deep blue or the lushness of an emerald green. When considering the coziness of a space, emphasize warm colors that will bring feelings of comfort and ease. Reds, oranges, browns, and yellows all provide feelings of warmth. This isn’t to say that you should repaint your walls with these colors, but adding texture to your room with decor that has warm colors will make a big impact.

Have you ever walked into a room with blank walls, and it gave you an uncomfortable, sterile feeling? To make a space feel lived-in and comfortable, make sure your living area has art and photos on the wall that add personality and help fill up the space. Many homeowners can evoke a feeling of comfort by covering their walls with art, decor, and photographs, making the room feel fuller and more inviting.

2644 E Huntingdon Street Philadelphia, PA 19125

BEDS | 3.5+ BATHS | 2,670 SQ FT | $560,000

Corner lot? Check. Two deeded parking spots? Yes, please. Massive roof deck? You bet. You will want for nothing in this luxuriously developed home. Classic, Philly-style red brick with a sleek modern look awaits you as you approach the home. Corner lots are always in demand because the property only has one shared wall but they also provide incredible natural light; something you will notice immediately as you step into this clean and fresh open layout. It’s not often that you get to enjoy a family style dining room table as well as a 4 person breakfast bar in a Philadelphia town home. But that just speaks to both the extravagance and practicality this home offers. Guests can enjoy a bright and spacious powder room steps away, making for a perfect entertainment space before even making it to the second floor. Two generous guest bedrooms provide for endless options: the kids can have their own rooms or your hometown friends can come to stay the weekend of the big game. You can sip coffee at your desk while looking out of your nearly floor to ceiling corner windows or you can meditate sprawled out on your yoga mat in your new studio. Luckily, a hot shower is never far away in this home, but the mesmerizing tile work adds that special touch of relaxation. The primary suite is just up the stairs. Space is the name of the game here, from the king bed sized bedroom, to the spa-like primary bathroom with double vanities, to the outfitted walk in closet. This floor speaks for itself. But further upstairs is the true gem. This rooftop will take your breath away. Nearly 360 degree views of Philadelphia sprawled out in front of you and still, you can feel like you are in your own little bubble with your friends and family. It is the perfect retreat. The only place that might rival it is your fully finished basement, perfect for a movie night oriented den. This space is insanely cozy for its size, but again, you’ll find practicality here. A full bathroom and laundry room are at your disposal on this level. On the go? Head out back through the sliding doors in the kitchen to one of the cars in your deeded parking spots and head down 95, a straight shot from the house, potentially cutting commute time in half. Or meet some friends for brunch at Philly staple, Green Eggs Cafe. Or maybe Memphis taproom for a happy hour drink. Have you tried the pound cake at Stock’s Bakery yet? Well its just a block away. In case it wasn’t clear, 2644 E Huntingdon is ready and waiting to fit your every need.

4 beds | 2,5 baths | 2,746 sq ft | $525,000. 1890 meets 2022 in this spectacular RB Richmond Properties, LLC renovated historic 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths brick home. The roof on this three story home is new. The original front windows provide the stark character of this home. All other windows have been replaced. As you walk into the front door, you will notice the high ceilings as you take in the redesigned ornamental fireplace, open floor plan, original staircase and period lighting that sparkles through out this home. Notice the sight lines as you travel through the living room into the dining room which includes a pantry and continues into the gourmet kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, wine bar, gas range, custom cabinets and lighting.

Truly a one-of-a-kind listing, this historic home was built in 1792 and has a date stone to prove it. Set on over 3 acres surrounded by lush greenery and embraced in nature, this property provides you with a serene sense of seclusion. Most people comment that they never knew this home existed! The location is spectacular! You have the modern convenience of being close to major routes to get to NYC, Philadelphia, the Poconos and the shore while soaking in the bucolic scenes of Bucks County.

Historic homes and land in Bucks County are in limited supply and new construction home materials pale in comparison with the solid stone masonry craftsmanship of yesteryear - not to mention solid pumpkin pine wood floors with exquisite details at every turn, offered in this historic gem. Not just anyone can own a home built in the 1700’s in Bucks County, wouldn’t it be great to own a piece of history? 376 David Drive would be the ultimate entertainment venue, the place friends and family want to visit often. You would be the talk of the town for sure!

In the Spring, watch as nature unfolds its beauty around you; in the Summer, enjoy relaxing by the pool; in the Fall, sit around the fire pit and jump in a pile of freshly fallen leaves and in the Winter, look out the Kitchen window to view the frozen pond, sit by one of the fireplaces to get cozy and after

snow has fallen, embrace the Winter wonderland around you, providing a priceless backdrop for holiday photos.

Victoria was everything we needed in a realtor and then some! Not only did she find us our dream home, and sell our old home, but she sold it twice! When the first sale of our house fell through, Victoria hit the ground running and had us under contract with a new buyer in less than 24 hours! She was there to answer every question we had, even if it was 9 at night. I could not recommend Victoria more. She is amazing and so dedicated to her job!

UNION TWP, NJ 08802

WHAT A NOVICE HAS TO SAY ABOUT REAL ESTATE

intrvr: Special A

Hello Alonzo – Are you really a novice?

as: Yes and no—I’ve been personally buying and selling in New Jersey for decades but formally became an agent six years ago and three years as a Broker. I think of myself as a novice only as I’m always open to learning new things.

intrvr: What made you want to become an agent?

as: First, I’ve always had a love of architecture and building styles from the Frick museum in Manhattan to Rockefeller center art deco—There are some really amazing homes across the country. I always loved watch This Old house and many of the house renovation shows. Just prior to becoming an agent—I was tasked with selling a family owned co-op in Brooklyn. This For Sale By Owner was a royal pain to travel from Jersey for appointments and Open houses. There was a local agent who approached and agreed to sell in two weeks for over my asking that would cover her commission. I agreed and she had a buyer within two weeks. I remember she charged 6% dual agent commission and the check that was cut was amazing for only 2 weeks work. It was an awakening moment that perhaps this is something I could also do.

intrvr: So what did you do before becoming an agent?

as: I spent decades as Advertising Director and Manger with some of the largest media companies in the USA. Travel Manager at Newsday in New York, Hoy Newspaper, Distinction magazine, Director a Detroit News Free Press, Advertising Manager for Poder and Loft magazines, ESPN Deportes, Muslim Girl magazine and many others. These were all very high pressure positions to grow advertising revenue and oversee staff. The transition to Real Estate was low stress and a much better work and life balance.

intrvr: Have you been successful selling property?

as: Like starting any new business—It takes time to reach your stride. I was fortunate that after a few months in, I was able to start regularly closing deals with 2 or 3 closings a month. This pace has made me a top producer in my office.

My first home sales opportunity right out of school was for someone I’d known many years. He was in the process of getting divorced and they had both moved out. We discussed the price he required. I immediately gathered a crew to clean and stage. A neighbor stopped by with interest to purchase which I advised him. I was able to bring in several buyers and price was bid up six figures over his asking. Seller then went back to that neighbor directly and sold the property at the higher price. He refused to pay any commission on it. I learned very quickly, no matter who you are working with—Get it in writing.

intrvr: So what’s your secret - What have you done that keeps you growing a steady stream of income?

I treat this Real Estate business the same way that I managed Fortune 500 companies:

• Set my hours which is usually 8am – 8pm seven days a week*

• Get dressed—Sure, I’m mostly working from home but being dressed and ready to take an appointment is part of my work ethic DNA and mentally gives me a sense of professionalism

• Develop a business plan and share it with staff—Outline who I’m selling to and why

• Set Goals and monitor closely—I have no problem being accountable

• Make a list of daily priorities so that I know things are done and completed

• Keep my data base of contacts up to date with next step timelines

• Always show up to appointments before my client—They say in golf, if your on-time, you’re late

• Reach out to clients with topical information to stay top of mind and send targeted properties based on their buying needs

• * Often working remotely allows me to take personal time and maintain a nice work/life balance

intrvr: Can you shed some insight to the types of leads and clients you work with?

as: Most agents hold their lead sources close to the vest somewhat like a magician doesn’t reveal his secrets. The way I work is as follows: 60 percent of my business is from Investors and remaining from end users and 90 percent is residential. The large share of Investors are repeat buyers. Many are foreigners investing in the

US. The largest share of buyers (Investors and End- Users) are single woman. They are a driving force in real estate.

I’ve used number of lead sources: Zillow, Realtor.com, Homesnap (social media integration), Target using predictive analytics and automated marketing, Mailings, Post cards, Web site. I’ve also been provided leads from Mortgage companies I close with. Recently I have closed several from a Mortgage contact I met in Brooklyn who pre-qualifies clients and if they are looking to relocate to Jersey provides the lead. This has been a real surprise of new business. This is a business and like any other business needs capital infused into it to gain a return. It’s not cheap to do all these things but the return justifies it

intrvr: What are your weaknesses or short falls in this business?

as: I’m not a regular user of Social media—I don’t Post or self-promote my successes. I’ve so far, have not done any Podcasts or video interviews. While I’m certainly aware of the value of these options – It just doesn’t interest me. My on-line social connections are people I actually know. I know that this is an area to work on

intrvr: How are you managing this year with interest rates still climbing and inventory of homes very limited?

as: This year first half started out pacing on track with sales – The 3rd quarter had a sharp drop-off as many were on the sideline hoping the rates would go down. The 4th quarter has picked up again. Mortgage companies have gotten creative with ARM mortgages and other adjustable low up front interest rates that go up after a few years but come with an option to refinance for free if rates go down in coming years. Sellers have also begun to offer buy down interest points as an incentive. We are also beginning to see some price reductions as well.

intrvr: What areas in New Jersey do you work?

as: I try to focus within a 20 mile radius of Jersey City—Furthest South is New Brunswick. I prefer to really get to know my territory and often go on bicycle rides in various parts from GW Bridge through the various towns and really get to know fun stuff to do, Festivals, Parks, Restaurants, Attractions and commuter transportation modes and locations are very important. If I do get requests for other areas in Jersey, I prefer to recommend a local agent in the area. If I have someone looking to relocate out of New Jersey, I also maintain a list of other agents who can help in Florida, North Carolina and Georgia.

intrvr: Are you involved in the local community?

as: I’m a big believer in supporting various causes and paying it forward. I have been a spokesperson for First Time Home Buyers Programs. This helps to support and empower the local community of value of home ownership. I volunteered as fund raiser on board of Bike JC which is instrumental in working with the City to provide Bike lanes, Bike safety tips in schools and helmets. We also host a bike tour where several thousand people come out to ride in various parts of the city. Even the Mayor joins the ride. https://bikejc.org/ It’s an amazing ride with Police leading the way on vintage Harley motorcycles to clear traffic. The sound is such a rush… I also support the Police Unity Tour where funds are raised to allow police to Bike to Washington in support of fallen officers. They do a local bike ride and street fair prior to the big 4 day ride to DC on May 9th checkout www. policeunitytour.com I’m a bit of an amateur artist and have been very fond of Art House Productions www.arthouseproductions.org They posted an open call for artist to have work reviewed by top curators and galleries from New York and New Jersey. This show was to highlight top six emerging artist. Hundreds of people lined up to show work for a chance to be in show. I had never shown my work publicly but decided to go out for a review. They had already select the six artist but after reviewing my work changed the show to top seven and included me in the show. They even offered to take on my work in galleries. This was a major surprise and validation to work that I had let sit on the shelf. (Photo Art)

There are other programs like DIFFvelopment www.diffvelopment. org whose mission it is to mentor and support disadvantaged inner city kids. To me support is where the heart is. There are endless groups in need of funds and one can only do so much but I find it does help. I also had an interesting experience of having sold and resold a dozen Condos in one building. As a personal give back—I contacted the building management office to pay for the renovation of common area of this building. Those who purchased from me were overwhelmed by the gesture as it added value to their purchase. And, as life would have it, there were several offers from additional owners in the building to sell their unit as a result. You just never know what’s around the corner.

intrvr: It’s interesting that you would share this deep connection for work and supporting others. Is there a final note you would like to share? as: Yes, I’m always open as a mentor to other agents. I can help them come to quick solutions that might seem like deal breakers. It’s also part of that novice learning curve for me. I read and absorb a great deal of industry information. However, I have no problem saying I don’t know but I’ll find out. The most important advice I can provide is be honest, Always offer full disclosures and Never ever guess about something you don’t know.

I’m a people person and really get a kick out of what I do. Real Estate agents play a pivotal role in the home buying and selling process. We know how to educate and navigate our clients through the maze of information they need to know to make an informed buying or selling decision. To me it’s like a translation of a new language which if you don’t know could be a disadvantage. To date, I’ve not had any buyer or seller with remorse from a deal. All parties have been completely satisfied with their decision. I consider it my crowing achievement

As a side note: If you want a good family friendly read—Check out my book Assimilate This! Finishing Schooled on Style and Etiquette. It’s a humorous written book. You can find it on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or million dollar book club. (Photo book cover)Thanks for taking the time to read this article and Happy Buying and Selling.
