The last few weeks (or maybe months)
This has been such a strange Spring market. We keep waiting for the “rush” and it just hasn’t come. There have been a few situations where houses came on and went to sealed bids right away – anything between $750,00-$1,100,000 – but mostly it is weeks before a house goes into contract. There are plenty of buyers out there, so sellers fret not. Buyers have the luxury of looking… and are apparently still not feeling any sense of urgency. In the end, Darien is a good market for buyers and sellers.
There are some really fabulous houses on the market.
19 Sunnyside is an exceptional example 🙂 .
19 Sunnyside Avenue. Asking $1,795,000. Totally renovated – completely new from the foundation on up. A must see under $2M. (off the market 7/14).
Also on the market again this Spring is 5 Seagate. It was rented by a local decorator and it looks absolutely fabulous. (If you want to know who the decorator is, give us a call…she can transform your house too). This is a fabulous opportunity to be close to water, and everything else in town! Asking $2,195,000. Offered by Janine Tinken at Kelly Associates. (SOLD at $2,100,000 – 8/14)
LOVE! Wait til you see how fabulous it looks inside!
Welcome. An inviting front hall, lots of closets and the gateway to a very livable house.
Formal, yet comfortable living space. Not every room has to be where you can flop on to the couch…but yet you can here!
or here. Every room has been made to make you feel at home!
Work from home here.
A serene and soothing place to end the day. Perfect bedroom colors.
Just in time for a cocktail as Summer comes.
7 Devon Road is a brand new listing (as of 4/25/14) that is certain to be a “must see” for all the first time homebuyers out there. Do you remember Hilton Street, Ridgely or Fairview Avenue? They pushed the price tags on a sweet cape like this into the stratosphere. The demand is incredible! This is a fabulous house and shows beautifully. Let’s see how the buyers react. Given the past few weeks there will be a line out the door. Asking $969,000 offered by Cathy Lawton at Kelly Associates. (SOLD at $985,000 – 7/14)
7 Devon Road. So new this is still the only photo! Terrific street, nice fenced in back yard and a brand new garage!
Switching gears a bit, 35 Sunswyck has come back to market. It’s been a few years since buyers in this price range have had the luxury of being able to choose this beauty. It is so special that we will have to write a piece just on the hardware in this house. Truly exceptional hardware. However, these pictures will give you a good idea of just what we mean when we say ‘special’. Asking $4,195,000. Another fabulous property offered by the Nannah’s (Nan Peter and Hannah Burge) at Kelly Associates. (SOLD at $4,030,000 – 8/14)
35 Sunswyck built in 1931. Over looking the water. A very special opportunity for the right buyer… I know you are out there somewhere!
Notice the front door down below, the sensational staircase and its iron railings. This main floor landing speaks for its self. Gorge!
Sleek and sexy, the kitchen showing it’s modern side. Oh, yes, and with views of the water to die for!
A rival for our original Fab Master Bath! Take me Away Calgon!
My favorite room in the house! Can you imagine how cozy and fabulous! Water views and all. What a little sanctuary.
228 West Avenue, asking $1,139,000 is tremendous value in a great location. It is a very unique property with a lot of renovated space, and has very good out door space. A great house with a good asking price. There may be some conversation about being on a busy road, or that the pool is “as is”, but come on people, Darien is running out of space, and some day very soon, this property is going to be the best thing that you ever considered. If you are looking in this price range, you really need to look at, and consider this property. LOVE IT! (SOLD at $1,090,000 – 7/14)
228 West Avenue. A quitesential “in town” victorian built in 1885. With a fabulous front porch.
Great stone terrace and pool area. Pool is “as is”, but there is huge potential!
Renovated and updated, you will find beautiful floor boards and details such as original stained glass windows.
Dining room or family room with lots of sunlight.
Ok, its not Kitchens by DEAN, but look at the floors 🙂 You can add that fabulous kitchen later!
We did add a property to our Facebook page yesterday that is sublime. It is offered through an agent at Halstead but they don’t like it when we blog about their properties (are we stealing their thunder? really?). I actually think the agent would love for us to post is but we can’t. We do think it is sensational. One of the most beautiful properties on the market for sure. If you want to look at it, go to our facebook page. Or even better, if you want to go see it, call us for a showing.
If any of the properties here are of interest to you, call us. The weather is changing and the gardens are starting to bloom. It’s a great time to look at real estate in Darien!
If you are currently working with an agent this is not a solicitation.
