my dad’s house in Tupper Lake, NY, has been on the market for just about a year now. With the tough economic times, there has been little interest and few prospects. The house is almost through the legalities of being in mine and my brother’s name once the probate/estate mess is finally done….(Ughhh…what a mess all that is, but that’s another blog)…! Our Realtor has been showing the house the bit, but no substantial interest, and one ridiculous offer.
I’m pretty biased about loving this place, because it is where I spent my summer and winter breaks for most of my young life. Summers on the lake ~ boating, swimming, fishing. Christmas and winter breaks ~ skiing every day. The Adirondack Mountains are so peaceful, serene, and somewhat isolated “from the rest of the world”…! I wish I could keep the house in the family, but circumstances are too tough — for us — being a 2 days journey by car — and for Bob — just too tough in that he and katie shared so much with Nisey there — too much pain.
Anyway – here is the link to the Realtor’s website with info:

please feel free forward to anyone who might be looking for a great vacation home in the Upstate, NY (Adironack Mountains).
So sad to see that home go to a stranger. The wedding photos on the mantle………such memories you have looking at those pictures. My heart breaks for you, I know that has been a big part of your life. But I know also that you realize that life has to go on and we have to be practical in all we do even with the changes in life.
I wish I knew someone close to that area. It is an awesome place.
Good luck with the sale….
love you,
Aunt Sharon
