The inspiration for this site arose out of a desire to create a single reference source for information, details, and photos specifically for unique homes, and specifically for homes in the Northeast.
One afternoon, I spent several hours online searching for a certain kind of home; a home with unique qualities I could not quite describe, yet which I knew I would recognize. At the end of my session, I turned away in disappointment. I knew what I was looking for existed somewhere, but I could not narrow down my selection because there was simply no way to filter out the types of homes that I knew I would have no interest in.
You see, the home I sought out was not necessarily of a particular architecture, nor of a particular size, nor even within a particular price range. I knew the geographical area I desired, and yet that was the only criteria that availed itself to me. Every other search criteria fell short. What also fell short were the pictures and descriptions, as at no time was I able to develop a strong ‘feel’ for what each home might have offered.
And so, with nothing but an idea for what should be available, I embarked on a mission to make it take shape. If you’re reading this passage in 2009, there’s a good chance this site is still in development. That’s OK, as I would truly appreciate your feedback. After all, I’m certainly not the only one looking for something different, and I would be more than willing to incorporate the well intended thoughts of others. Over the next several months, a simple yet robust site shall arise; one that puts the focus where it belongs… on the unique qualities that make the finest homes of all shapes and sizes so incredibly worthwhile.
