16 Juniper = a little slice of heaven in Rowayton / CONTRACT SIGNED
Monday, October 13, 2014
16 Juniper Road captures exactly what customers want these days in a new house. Simple, chic and playing out all the fantasies one has of living a minimalist lifestyle.
Making the Rowayton market proud right now is Liz Beinfield’s new listing at 16 Juniper Road in Rowayton. Tucked tightly in the Beach Association, you will find five bedrooms, four and a half baths, beautiful reclaimed wood floors and beams as well as blinding southern exposure that will light up your life! Asking $2,395,000 offered through Kelly Associates. SOLD/CLOSED
Kitchen that extends into a lovely reading and television seating area.
Gorgeous color (and texture on that island) in the kitchen
Oh those doors, those doors, those doors.
But we shouldn’t put all our focus on that perfect kitchen, family room space. The other spaces are equally fantastic. From the (stucco-like walls), curved archways and tone on tone colors, this home hits the mark.
The window filled cupola is where this light fixture hangs from….very dramatic
The master bedroom has a clean, cool, spa-like feel.
Moving on from ‘fab master bath”, we are going straight for ‘KILLER” master bath!
The windows (our favorite), the sliders and terrace make for a perfect package.
If you are looking in Rowayton OR if you are in the Darien market and want to “look”outside the box, this is the house to start with. Give us a call and we will show you what we mean.

Poof and it’s gone – 133 Rowayton Avenue
Wednesday, January 29, 2014Wow that was fast. 133 Rowayton Avenue came on at an impressive $3,950,000 (and don’t forget those Rowayton taxes) and was sold (with 3 offers) instantly. Of course it is fabulous, has a slip and is maintenance free but this is still a great sign for the Rowayton market.
Gorgeous floors, gorgeous pantry, gorgeous kitchen!
The great room on the 2nd floor. A wonderful space to relax and escape.
Well appointed family room off of the kitchen.
We have always been charmed by these appealing town homes and it did not disappoint.
Wish we could say we could show you but you will have to wait for another unit to hit the market.
17 Sammis Street HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!
Friday, May 17, 2013
Sitting high up on the hill….probably one of the drier homes around.
17 Sammis Street is a wonderful renovation that sits right across the street from from Farm Creek Preserve in Rowayton. Now asking $1,895,000, it has 4 nicely sized bedrooms, over 4000 square feet and a wonderful location (and season water views). Listed by Amdanda Briggs at Kelly Associates.
Dark ‘N’ Stormy anyone?
I would love to see a pop of art or some colored grasscloth.
You walk into a large foyer that is filled with sunshine (does it ever rain in Rowayton?) The kitchen is open and crisp. It opens to the breakfast area, family room and beyond that, the patio. The dining room also opens out to the terrace, which I love. I think it is so romantic to have a dinner party with the doors open on a rainy night. There is also a living room and bedroom on the first floor.
The living room has seasonal water views through those french doors.
The kitchen also has seasonal water views.
Easy living here in this chic kitchen/breakfast/family room.
The view from the family room to the kitchen.
Dining room.
Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and a beautiful landing.
The main event is the Master Bedroom. I loved the room and have to admit, wanted to take the beautiful Schumacher curtains with me (they are not included but will give you inspiration for the room). The dressing room is gorgeous with its cocoa grasscloth and pink shades….something you would see in House Beautiful. You don’t even pay attention to the wonderful closet, the dressing room is so gorgeous.
It is hard to tell but the clawfoot tub is a light grey blue.
Nice large basement area for the kids.
The mudroom is right off the garage. It is downstairs so you will never see the clutter.
Come check out 17 Sammis Street and fall into summer with a fabulous new home!

FLEA BITES
Friday, May 10, 2013We were touring the Open Houses on Tuesday, and decided to pop into Flea. They have just expanded their shop and now serve lunch. This is the BEST LUNCH IN TOWN. Nick (from the Rowayton Market) serves up the most delicious, fresh (as in he made the mayonnaise right in front of us, for us) and unique food. We couldn’t decide so we split the prosciutto, fig and ricotta sandwich and the Manchego and tomato sandwich. We also brought home a roast beef sandwich and a feta & watermelon salad.
If you want to sit outside and have a wonderful, fresh lunch, this is the place. Meet your girlfriends here!
A local spot for lunch.
The bar stools!
Simple and delicious menu.
Manchego and tomato sandwich, grilled and served with a side of arugala and spinach salad. Yum!

Way to go Nick! We had a fabulous lunch.
HGTV DOORY Award Nominee in the Victorian category
Wednesday, May 8, 2013
This will make a fabulous ‘homestead’ for someone looking in Rowayton.
THIS JUST IN…our favorite ROWAYTON GEM!
This is a house to love! I am not going to call this a “diamond in the rough” because it is more like a “minors cut”. It shines on its own with great brilliance, but with a few more facets – i.e. a little work- this house will be simply splendid. If you like this vintage, I promise this will not disappoint! 5 bedrooms/ 2 1/2 baths, asking $925,000 offered through Amanda Briggs at Kelly Associates. If you are interested in seeing this property, please call us.
