The Most Important Room in the House
Monday, September 22, 2014We all know that the kitchen is the “hub of the home”. In fact we over heard someone say the other day, while driving around to open houses, “face it, once someone sees this kitchen it won’t matter what the rest of the house looks like”. The October issue of House Beautiful gets down to business with some fabulous kitchens, so we are too. Here are some of the best on the market right now!

The FANTASY that became a REALITY – SOLD/CLOSED
Saturday, September 20, 2014
The only thing better than stumbling upon a Tim Sickinger lunch at one of the open houses, is walking into a listing that sets off all your Realtor pistons! There is nothing we can say about this superbly charming Rowayton house that will do it justice. 12 Witch Lane is fabulous. Built in 1920, this is one of the remaining original Rowayton Village houses with unobstructed views of Witch Lane Park. Thoughtful plantings and landscaping keep it private year round, and create a perfect sanctuary within walking distance to The Market and everything else this charming little sea side town has to offer. Three bedrooms, two full baths with approximately 2000 square feet of living space (an additional 1500 sq of partially finished basement with storage) asking $1,495,000 offered through Kelly Associates.
Without a doubt this house is a must see if you are looking for something very special in Rowayton. Please call us if you are interested in seeing this listing or anything else in this lovely village minutes from Manhattan (ok, 60 minutes).
If you are currently working with an agent this is not a solicitation. If you are not, don’t look any further! Call us and let us show you what is on the market!

What is New?
Friday, September 19, 2014I keep thinking that it is “bloggers block” that is preventing us from posting new and beautiful houses on the market, but in fact it is low inventory! In certain price points there is still extremely limited inventory. Yikes!
25 Georgian is back on the market after the new/current owners added central air and stripped the wall paper (although some of it was cool vintage). We really liked this house when it was on two years ago. And, we still like it mostly because it remains a fabulous opportunity for a house on a nice street waiting for someone to put their own style and renovation in motion. Something of note here is that the upstairs has a nice wide hall way and the bedrooms are large. It really offers good space both upstairs and down; four bedrooms (or possibly five), four baths and space in the basement! Hitting the market at $1,395,000 offered through William Raveis. (Also for rent at $5750.).
32 Miller Road sits at the top of the hill. Worth noting is the flat and open property giving it the outdoor space everybody loves. The price is smack in the middle of that $1,000,000 – $1,500,000 sweet spot presenting as the sought after expanded cape that is move-in ready. It is waiting for your “chicness” to arrive. One suggestion… if you are tired of the usual HomeGoods or Ikea solution for decorating, try HomePolish, a fabulous new decorating resource that won’t kill your wallet. Four bedrooms, two and a half baths, approximately 2700 square feet on about half an acre. Asking $1,399,000 offered through Kelly Associates.
Additionally, 31 Prospect is a MUST SEE. This is a fabulous “in town” house – something that we don’t have a lot of in Darien. This comfortable and cozy house has four bedrooms, three and a half new baths, along with a kitchen that will fast become the ‘hub’ of your new home. The living room is a fabulous size (and screaming for some gorgeous wall paper) that will surely host many memorable dinner parties. The house shows beautifully and truly feels like a “home”. If you would like to find out more, let us know! These houses on Prospect don’t linger on the market. It’s a Sotheby’s listing asking $1,625,000.
