SLOW roll out for Spring
Saturday, February 8, 2014The snow has now officially become a big “downer” for the start of the SPRING MARKET. It is so hard to imagine that in only 8 weeks we will be watching the crocuses pop up, but keep the faith.
Darien had three new listings this week. Three different neighborhoods, three different price points. I wasn’t exactly racing to the phone to call customers after viewing these new listings, but I am certain it was more the effort it took to actually get out of my driveway the morning of “broker open houses” than anything else. Maybe my enthusiasm will return if I focus on some properties in Palm Beach. Just a thought…
128 Colony. Not quite as ‘tony’ as St. Nicholas, but 100 times better in so many ways.
We liked 128 Colony. Colony, a popular street, offers the quintessential suburban neighborhood experience, but not all the houses are situated so well. 128 Colony has a fabulous back yard abutting Woodland Park so you really have some privacy behind the house. It’s in great condition, and has lots of space – a combination that most buyers would put at the top of “the list”. Yes, it is in “move in” condition. I suppose the question is can you live with all the wall paper and themes playing out in each room. Five large bedrooms, three and a half baths, lots of living and entertaining space downstairs with a Great Room off the kitchen. It is quite a package at $2,150,000. Offered by Cathy Lawton at Kelly Associates.
Good deep back yard. Looks as if there is a lot of room for all your “sports fans”.
Its tough with the snow, but this is a really good terrace directly off the kitchen and Great Room. It offers super entertaining options! You could put some gorgeous outdoor lighting, planters and some McKinnon and Harris garden furniture. It really could be fabulous!
McKinnon and Harris. Check out their website. It’s gorgeous. Beautiful colors and designs to choose from. To The Trade only, but that’s no big deal.
A sensational collection of planters in beautiful colors. These would be perfect on the terrace at 128 Colony.
A gracious size for a living room. The ceiling height is a bit low, but the tremendous light streaming in through all the windows takes your mind off that. The whole house has great light, in fact.
Kitchen works well for cooks. Everyone else can hang on the other side of the island.
Or you check out a favorite “local” decorator Lee Ann Thornton and see what her magic could do!
A beautiful kitchen from Lee Ann Thornton. The WOW factor is huge, and would translate here seamlessly.
Another room with fabulous light. I love sectionals, and this room can definitely carry a big one. But, you can create a few seating areas in this room without making it feel as if it were strictly for Sunday Night Football.
Like this! A gorgeous way to create a Great Room. Photo by Thomas Loof. Decorated by Lee Ann Thornton,
Looking the other direction you can see the space you would have to work with. This is a really big room! So many possibilities!
Another thought I had while walking around the house brought me to this idea. A little less traditional, a little less formal. But Gorgeous! A room by Tom Scheerer. Go back and look through his latest book. You will be overwhelmed by the “fabulosity”! Photo by Mathew Hranek
We always say “focus on the floor plan”. If that works for you the rest comes naturally. The flow is pretty good on this one.
Lots of large(ish) bedrooms. The 5th bedroom, added over the kitchen is a perfect guest room, or au pair room, as it can be separated easily from the rest of the upstairs.
Over at 22 Casement, you will find a new listing that offers good space in good condition at a very sensitive price point. There just isn’t anything on the market (yet) mid $1M’s. So, by virtue of being in “move in” condition, this will be a hot ticket for people who are looking to get something bigger. Five bedrooms, four baths , approximately 3400 square feet, on a neighborhood street close to Town. Offered by Sarah Littlefield at William Raveis/Darien, asking $1,699,000.
22 Casement in a winter wonderland! Photoshop the snow out and you will discover a lovely “townhouse” like property waiting for someone who wants to move right in!
As good as “brand new”. Like the contrasting island! Great ceiling height here.
Something like this large Yolk pendant from Circa Lighting would be perfect over the island here! Comes in several tones. Gorgeous.
The kids will love it up here, but take my word for it, you will not be climbing these stairs to often!
If you would like to brave the weather and go out to see some properties, maybe these properties, give us a call. Our driveways were just plowed!
