NEIGHBORHOOD
A quick walk from the house takes you to two beautiful parks, one on a small lake and the other on a large lake. Both parks are ideal for exercising, jogging, fishing, or simply relaxing on a bench and enjoying the country air, waterfalls, or simply watching the flocks of ducks on the lake. You may also take a quick walk to the quaint country house public library and art gallery on the corner, or the Arts Center which hosts a wide variety of art exhibitions as well as high quality musical performances by classical, rock, jazz and other artists as well as comedy and improv performances. The Arts Center also offers a variety of classes in drawing, photography and music. If you wish to avoid the clamor of NYC but still indulge in top Zagat rated cuisine, you may take a brisk walk to Water & Wine on the lake with its heavenly views, extensive wine list and delectable Italian food! About a mile away, is the magnificient Stonehouse Restaurant on Stirling Road, which opened this Fall as part of a $15 million project evolving on the site of the old Chanticler Chateau.
