We have seen it, and you can too! OPEN HOUSE ON SUNDAY MAY 4, 1-3PM
Saturday, May 3, 2014374 West Avenue, which backs up to Hazel Street, is ADORABLE!!!! Finding a house at this price point that you can actually live in is becoming harder and harder. Just like the few other properties we saw this Spring that “get you into Darien”, this will not last. Asking $799,000. Offered by Janine Tienken at Kelly Associates.
Picture Perfect. This is what you are waiting for! 374 West Avenue.
SO charming, and ready to move into. Good Goods here we come! Lot’s of possibilities here!
Open to the kitchen, this could also be the family room.
I would say you probably want to make this the dining room. Ballard Designs has some fantastic dining room tables and chandeliers that would pull it all together. But, Thomas the Tank Engine works well here too… 🙂
Look at this yard! Fenced in and backing up to Hazel. A real neighborhood for you.
If you would like to see this property, and can’t make it tomorrow, call us! If you are currently working with an agent, this is not a solicitation If you are working with an agent, this is not a solicitaion.
The last few weeks (or maybe months)
Friday, April 25, 2014This 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.
WANTED: A HOUSE UNDER $1,000,000
Wednesday, March 12, 2014It is amazing how many clients we have that are looking for houses under $1 million. Sounds great right? Well this spring market is not cooperating with us! Believe it or not, there are only 12 houses on the market under $1million. This is an all time low. So we have all these eager buyers and there is so little to show them or what they love, ends up having 11 offers as was the case with 42 Ridgely Street. Needless to say it is just a bit frustrating!
90 Linden Avenue, listed by Janine Tienken at Kelly Associates for $739,000. Nothing makes us more excited than getting word of a new listing! This just came on today and we cannot wait to see it tomorrow. As of 3/16/14 ACCEPTED OFFER
307 West Avenue is offered at $749,000. It is charming and close to the train station.
88 Gardiner Street is a wonderful house, offered at $1,075,000! Can someone please explain why it hasn’t sold especially after we sold our listing at 60 Gardiner Street in just a few short days for close to ask at $1,070,000????? And that studio would be the perfect adult tree fort (aka backyard destination).
30 Hilton Street, offered at $789,000, needs work but could be a rewarding project, especially when we see where 36 Hilton Street closes (my latest favorite).
So if you are even thinking about it, now is the time to serious contemplate and plan to list your house. Not sure you can go very wrong. Especially when we bring our eager clients!
Hello 2014!!! – UPDATE
Sunday, January 12, 2014A new year is upon us and we hope, new listings as well. It has been a rather dull Fall market but the holiday was busy for us with the launch of our listing at 327 Middlesex Road. There were also 2 other listings that came on, 223 West Avenue (listed for $879,000 with Linda Terhune) and 25 Raymond Street (listed for $839,000 with Kate Balanoff). ACCEPTED OFFER! Heard there were multiple bids. Is this a sign of what the Spring market will bring?
25 Raymond Street has great curb appeal. You can also walk to Rowayton and have some lunch at our favorite Flea.
This kitchen had us at hello. We loved the urban feel and those fabulous floors!!!
The homeowner did a wonderful job renovating the kitchen and baths in this house.
Bright space for having friends over.
Another great spot. Wish the hide came with the house. This 3 bedroom house is bound to sell quickly.
223 West Avenue also has great curb appeal. Any home with a front porch I love.
This 4 bedroom house has high ceilings and spacious rooms.
Renovated kitchen!!!One less thing to do when you move in.
Another room to live in.
Go and see these homes if you are in the market. Both great yet different. We expect the market to be busy this spring and it will start happening early. Contact us if you have any real estate needs we can help you with at info@realindarien.com.
