1340 Omar – Home of Bob & Diane Weigle Bob and Diane Weigle built this homage to New Orleans in 2000, a place they love. The current owners, Beth and David Speck, share their love of NOLA: they were even on the way to New Orleans when they first visited the home and put a contract down on the spot in 2015.

1445 Cortlandt Teran Smith, John Caffey, and our children have lived at 1445 Cortlandt since 2010. We were fortunate to inherit good “bones” in our front yard.

Over the years, we have tried to make the yard more inviting to human guests by replacing the forbiddingly tall picket fence with a shorter one. We also hope to make it more inviting to bird and insect guests by [...]
