Barry and Amy
We are recent empty nesters and have been cutting back on work. We enjoy traveling and love sharing our home with others. Looking for homes that allow us to combine remote work with good dining, hiking and biking. Particularly interested in opportunities to spend time in Manhattan or Brooklyn to visit our daughter.
