Last Saturday fall arrived to the Western Hemisphere just before 10 p.m. While we might be a few weeks away from seeing vibrant red, orange and yellow leaves on our treetops in the Northeast, before we know it the region will be blanketed by stunning foliage. From the Berkshires of Massachusetts to Westchester County and the Nutmeg State, there is nothing like autumn in this region of the county. Today we take a look at some spectacular homes that will give you the best view of the colors of fall.
