I'll pass, it's not close to a town square. On second thought, my driver could take me !!!!

Thank you for posting this link. I am coming for a visit on Monday and have looked at homes on Trulia - but not like this one! I'll have to show my friends who are coming down with me. I checked my Mega Millions ticket this am - not a winner - maybe next time! Then I could really do some house hunting.

I once drove through Harmeswood when I was completely and thoroughly lost. I now drive through every couple of months just because I find it soothing -- it is such a beautiful village. In the meantime, I'll dream about living there but not in this one -- way too big for my taste or needs.

Strikes me as just a wee tad too big for only me and The Cat!

On t'other hand, I can see a number of up-north folks claiming kinship so's they can bunk down in the "guest wing!"

Many of the Premier homes in TV are really beautiful. But, I still wonder why retired folks need so much room! Surely, they don't always have their kids and grandkids visiting!?!?

The interesting thing is that this is just a snowbird house for the current owners. Their permanent residence is Connecticut.

The first time we came on the Lifestyle Preview, I asked our agent to show me a million dollar house. He did.

WOW!

Harmsewood is a beautiful village, Gracie. Homes are just a bit different from others in the community. Lots of mature trees add to the beauty.

All villages in TV are lovely in my eyes, just that some have a bit more visually to observe. (I like the pool, too!)

Before our friends moved up from their cyv
to a little bigger place in Bridgeport we went with them to check out the unique cape cod place next to this compound and we peered
in the windows. Lots of woowoo.
The price was closer to 1.2m and it sat a long time. Went to 995,000 with the previous agent and sat over a year.
Sold for $800,000 in need of huge work, deal fell through. Now relisted with updated fotos
The indoor pool, while novel, is said to be somewhat of a quirk, going right up to
a wall.
Just across the water from this oasis you can get a lil' villa and look across the same catch basin and see the lifestyles of Harmeswood.
There's another 4k footer with room for a
four car fleet in Harmeswood just listed at 1.2
We liked the uniqueness and charm so much we bought one across the water from this one for a fraction of the cost even though a real move is two years or more.

Now if they would only fix that archaic iron prison gate! It's so slow we keep knitting and a crossword book handy

I'm with you on that gate. Cripes, it seems to take FOREVER to open.... ;)

It's still there - and it's been reduced by $50,000. New price is $1,581,651.:D

Is it just me...
 
...not to be too critical, but I would have thought a home that nice would have staged some of the rooms better. The room with the couches and then the equipment on the floor seemed to be a surprise to me.

I give up. I cannot get the link to work. Tried copying and pasting, clicking etc. What am I doing wrong?
