The holiday season is notoriously known for over indulgence on all the wonderful food, beverages and treats that accompany this time of year. However, the holidays will end on January 1, and many will declare a New Year’s Resolution to focus on their health and shed some excess weight. We all have a busy schedule with commitments both at work and at home, which means getting to the gym is not the easiest of tasks. What better way to kick start your new year and fitness goals than by working out in the comfort of your own home. The following properties will help ensure 2018 is your best year yet.
3 Read Court – Rye, N.Y.
This home appropriately resides on Read Court, a highly desirable cul-de-sac in a prime location.

After a friendly game of hoops, relax in light-filled rooms that feature high ceilings and top of the line finishes. If you’re looking to add some extra steps to your daily routine, this property is also conveniently located close to downtown Rye and the Metro North station.
