The owner and design team of the first new LEEDS Silver certified home in Sullivan County are inviting interested folks to stop by for an open house on Saturday, September 19th from 4 to 6PM. (NOT this Saturday --- note it's September 19th.) The home is located at 194 Mapes Road in Barryville. RSVP's are required, so they know know many folks to expect. RSVP to openhouse@huisworkshop.com Note: this house is NOT on the market for sale. This open house is for the design team to show off what they've accomplished with this house.
LEEDS Certification is tiered certification of the 'greenness' of a building, administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. LEEDS certification is very tough to achieve and is a pretty big deal.
Don't you think that either the new Concord story or the last Monticello Village meeting with Manager Ray Nargizian is worthy of a post? Both stories will have an impact on the real estate you write about.

rg, not particularly on either count. I don't do squat in the village of Monticello --- it's not a prime second home destination, after all --- and I really haven't been following all that closely what's been going on. It seems more of the same-old, same-old dysfunctional political infighting that's all too common in this county.
Regarding the Concord, rg is referring to a report in yesterday's Times Herald Record that Cappelli is offering to sell all or part of the Concord to the Seneca tribe.

I just saw that as one more of the footnotes and asides in the ongoing casino and Concord drama here.

The pictures I've seen of homes by this company (though not this particular house) have looked amazing. Then again, I think most second home owners would prefer traditional cottage style to contemporary.

I live very close to this particular home, and I have to say that it is one of the biggest eye sores this side of the Delaware. Honestly, how much effort does it take for a homeowner and the builder to build a home that conforms - on the most basic aesthetic level - to its surroundings?
