Went to Old Brookville today (Hempstead, Oyster Bay: houses, inspections, living in)

[omigawd]

and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've never been there before and I can't believe how beautiful the homes are, the land, etc......

I certainly is nice. If you enjoy looking at homes like that, you may also want to take a drive through Oyster Bay Cove.

Old Brookville, Muttontown, Lattingtown, Oyster Bay Cove. I've driven around those areas many times when I used to work in Nassau. Unbelievable wealth. What I love most about Old Brookville are the old gatehouses along Brookville road. I wouldn't mind living in one of those!

Washington rode his horse on Cedar Swamp Road, Old Brookville is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the village name as part of their mailing address.
