Re: BXGELL2...
OMG... thank you!!  You guys are totally making me second guess our decision to sell! 
ETA - yes, we live in PA. A suburb about 20 miles north of Philadelphia. You guys would throw up if I told you how much we bought this house for, by comparison to LI standards

Re: BXGELL2...
Your hearts are going to sink when you realize the vast difference in what your money can buy. Granted, though, I don't get all the perks and benefits to living on LI, so close to NYC.
But, I do live 15 minutes from downtown Philadelphia in a beautiful, very granola, down to earth community, with gorgeous old stone houses.
We have half an acre, 2700 sq/ft, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and we are selling for $385,000.

Re: BXGELL2...
I'm in NJ and my heart sank
It really is such a beautiful home and good luck selling it!! I have a feeling it isn't going to be in the market for long.

I don't suppose you're in Bucks County by any chance?
We've been looking at moving to PA.

Re: BXGELL2...
We live in Montgomery County. Bucks Co. is gorgeous as well, but it's too far from downtown Philly for me. I like the 15 minute commute to work, and we go into the city on the weekends a lot. Though Bucks is certainly a lot closer to Manhatten and I have a friend at work actually who lives in Bucks, and her husband commutes to NYC for work everyday.
Why are we moving? The school district in our area is good, but I want the best. And we're itching for a new project. We want to take advantage of the market and buy another fixer-upper in one of the best school districts. Because we did most of the work on our house ourselves, while it looks like it cost a lot, the reality is it really didn't, so we likely won't take a loss on our house. We figure, the gain we'll make on the next house will compensate for breaking even on this one.
ETA - the taxes here are sickening, and the highest in the State. We pay $10k in taxes, and that's AFTER I successfully appealed them and got a $2.5k reduction!  That's another reason why we want to move. We can get more house for our money if we move to another area where the taxes are lower.

OMG Your house would be at like $550-600 on LI right now. Which is why I can't find anything I like in our much lower price range.

I know. That's why we live in PA. I yearn to live on LI again, but financially it just doesn't make sense for us. So I visit frequently, and live in an area that is at least very accessible to downtown Philly.
One day we'll make it back to NY...

Can't blame you one bit - LI is so overpriced compared to almost everywhere else. Your house is beautiful!

I am so jealous, your house is gorgeous and your backyard is amazing. I wish we weren't economically tied to NYC.

Your house is gorgeous!!

Re: BXGELL2...
such a beautiful home - good luck selling (although I don't think you'll need it).
If I was to ever move off LI, I would live outside Philly - reminds me of suffolk county but will a shorter commute to a large city.
