January is National Hobby Month, so there is no better time to learn (or perfect) a hobby than now. For those of you looking to find a home for your New Year hobby, check out seven great homes that offer you the prime opportunity to make your hobby thrive.
New Year Hobby List
#1. Reading
With 2016 over, the New York Times has released their list of the 10 Best Books of 2016. Take a glimpse and see which one sparks your interest. Whether it is an educational biography or a light murder mystery, we can’t think of a better place to cozy up with a good book than the library of this Marion home.
#2. Cooking
Whether you already love to experiment in the kitchen or still cannot tell the difference between a ladel and a strainer, cooking is a great hobby to pick up. Cooking in this Dennis home is a breeze with quartzite stone and leathered granite counters, professional quality Thermador, Subzero, and Miele appliances. To get you started here are 16 healthy recipes for 2017.
#3. Fitness
We all want to lose that extra ten pounds, so why not make your next new hobby a new fitness routine in the meantime. Working out is a great way to stay in shape and boost your energy. Running on the treadmill in this Boston Brownstone offers you fabulous views.
#4. Art
This Wellfleet property features two historic buildings on a single lot, including one that is an art gallery. Artnet recently named 11 artists that will transform the art world in 2017. While we don’t expect you to make that list just yet, you can start smaller (we won’t judge if you can’t stay in the lines) and work your way up to gallery-status.
#5. Bowling
Dating back 4,000 years, bowling has a storied history and is still highly popular among all age groups and athletic abilities. This Dartmouth home has it’s own bowling alleys for you to practice and play with friends. For those on a health kick in the new year, here are the top 10 health benefits of bowling.
#6. Billiards
This Chatham rental home offers you the best opportunity to perfect your impersonation of Paul Newman as “Fast Eddy” Felson. Homes with pool tables are important for those who want to pick up the hobby as the number of coin-operated pool tables in America is dwindling (down nearly 22% in a recent three-year span.)
#7. Movies
Award season is upon us with the Golden Globes and Academy Awards in the coming months. That doesn’t give you too much time to catch up on all those movies you’ve missed. Grab the Junior Mints, dim the lights and hit play at this Osterville home.
