The Jewel in The Crown

Friday, September 23, 2016

We all heard last week about the Ziegler Estate (Great Island) coming on the market.  The Wall Street Journal covered that pretty well. Now, 214 Long Neck Point has come on, brining to an end another family’s long history on the coveted neighborhood road. Journey’s End is officially on the market though Houlihan Lawrence asking $14,395,000.  248′ of direct waterfront, and 2.86 acres facing South West where the sunsets and the skyline of Manhattan never disappoint.

Wow!

Wow! A subdivision of two lots, each with 124′ of frontage is pending approval. But to be clear, the property is being sold as one leaving the option open for the new owner.

The house was built in the '50's. Updates needed, including the pool but what a spot.

The contemporary residence was built in the late ’50’s. Other features include a guest house, tennis court, paddle tennis court, cabanas for the pool, and a putting green (a small compound standing still in time). This is truly the most incredible piece of property to come on the market down on the Neck.

Yes. Really. That is the Manhattan skyline.

And, that really is what the evenings are like over there.

Pretty spectacular.

Spectacular. There is really nothing else that would describe this spot.

Back into the Fall Market

Wednesday, September 21, 2016

It sure has been slow in the real estate world the last four or five months, but Spring inventory is finally selling across all price points ( 13 Sunnyside, 21 Sunset, 33 Denhurst, 49 Goodwives River Road, 16 Beach Drive, 40 Morley Lane, 10 Meadow Brook, 259 Mansfield, 26 Stephanie and 6A Cross Road to name a few), and fabulous new inventory is coming to market. 8 Sunset comes to mind. It is a beautifully updated and expanded colonial centrally located in Darien. You really can walk to town from Sunset yet feel private on a great neighborhood street. Five bedrooms, four and one half baths, finished basement. Asking $2,425,000 offered by Houlihan Lawrence. SOLD

8 Sunset. Great curb appeal and beautifully maintained. Note the gravel driveway which is just so much nicer than a 'black top'.

Lovely living room with lots of light and space for a grand piano. A very pretty room.

The dining room can hold a table for twelve easily.

The dining room can hold a table for twelve easily. Nice neutral palate with seagrass on the walls.  Dress it up or dress it down, it’s the ‘little black dress’ of the house. Either way you will create a chic room for entertaining.

A classically designed kitchen that has a lot of storage and space for entertaining and living with all those kids!

A classically designed kitchen never looks dated. This one has a lot of storage, and great space for casual entertaining.

Open living to the family room, the mud room and the play room over the garage. And, of course the large flat back yard.

Open living to the family room, the mud room, the playroom/office over the garage as well as a finished basement.  Without being overwhelmed by an oversized space you have everything you need in a manageable spacious house. Isn’t that what we are all looking for?

Love the terrace and the back yard here. It really is a big bonus to this house.

Love the terrace and the back yard. Here is the privacy and the outdoor space so close to town that is so sought after now.

It's that time of year again to start to use the fire pit. You can be in here in time for S'mores at Thanksgiving.

It’s that time of year again… warm your hands and feet by the fire. You can be living here in time to celebrating Thanksgiving.

 

Let’s go see this!  If you are looking for more space and want to spare yourself the headache of a long renovation, this is the house!
