It was the very first home we saw but certainly not the last. In our search we found many nice homes but nothing that was the right fit for us. Nothing drew us in and when buying you've gotta go with what feels right. After viewing several homes on Long Island from Patchogue to Babylon we finally decided to go with 150 Poet in the hamlet and census designated place of
North Babylon, NY. Blinded by its charm and character we dove right in, as if we were under a spell. Since then we have encountered challenges we've never experienced before from unwelcome visitors in our attic to the potential for frozen pipes. Needless to say, these past 7 months of living in our 112 year old home has been extraordinary and educational to say the least! We learned more about the home and the inner workings of it than we ever expected and it seems we will be perpetual students as we continuously update, explore and research our historic home.
When we first moved in we knew very little about it. The neighborhood we are located in is called the Poet Section which includes several street names named after famous poets and I will you tell what my theory is on that later on. According to friendly new neighbors who came to say hello it was built in circa 1905 and was possibly a farmhouse because the surrounding homes found onions growing in their yards. In the 1970's the house was scheduled to be demolished due to development of new roads and homes and a subdivision of the property the house currently resides on. Thanks to efforts by residents the home was saved and the new roads were built around it. Since then we and the home have been getting to know each other and enjoying our time together. I look forward to sharing the stories I have found out about this unamed domicile which I hope to name after my research is completed.
