This evening, there will be a benefit event for the Bruce Museum at Leona Helmsley’s former Round Hill Rd Estate, which is on the market for $65M…
I have toured the estate before and since it’s been restored, and in my humble opinion, they did an amazing job with preserving the architectural details, while creating a relevant luxury property.
I would hate to see red wine spills on that precious Bourgogne Limestone!
Servants – otherwise known as Mr & Mrs Bates: $650 (makes one feel great about making this donation) These guests at least will not be relegated to spending the evening in the servants quarters, which were eliminated with the renovation. These quarters were blatantly homely – reminding them of their place in life.
Lady Mary Crawley – $1200
Lord and Lady Grantham – $10,000 (the website does not explain well as to the number of guests)
Dowager Countess of Grantham – $25,000 for 16 – 20 guests, your name of course mentioned on the program, tour of the estate, and a Rolls Royce transportation service.
The event is sold out, but the property is still available 🙂 So if you’re a serious buyer in this price range, you can tour the estate for the cost of a phone call to your buyer’s agent
The art of the deal transcends all businesses, and more so in real estate than in many other professions. For the client, it's often an emotional purchase or sale, rather than a simple commodity or luxury item. I make it my mission to have each side come to terms with a transaction that works for everyone. It's not always easy, but good things in life usually take effort - something from which I've never shied.
Licensed since 2009 as a real estate sales agent in CT & NY, I often work with clients on the border of both areas.
With sales and distribution experience for luxury designer products, and watching/reacting to the markets, my acumen for sales was established. Achieving success and contributing to the growth of many global apparel designer brands, such as Giorgio Armani and Paul Smith for over 20 years, it was time for a change. I wanted to explore another passion that would keep me in one location rather than traveling the globe.
Now I have the best of both worlds, a successful business as a fulfilling personal life. My husband and I have lived in back country Greenwich since 2003, where we enjoy easy access to great biking, hiking and golf. We love to ski and that's usually where our travel takes us.
Life is good in Greenwich!
