STARTING FRESH AND LOVINGIT
After 15 years of living in alarge older home with its own carriagehouseontwo acres , the ideaofnever again having to shovel snow or worry about gutters or landscaping was very appealing to Haya and Steve . Not that walking away from such a home was easy . “ The parties we had there were amazing ,” says Haya , referring to their famous “ echo room ”– a large room used for holiday dinners and parties throughout the year . The rest of the time , it sat empty waiting for the next event . Also difficult to leave behind was alovely , lush yard .
