The Greenwich Time today has a real estate article featuring 65 Clapboard Ridge Rd which came to market this week. I toured it during the broker tour on Tuesday and it is beautiful. I was somewhat surprised that it didn’t have a finished lower level with the requisite wine cellar, theater and gym…but hey, what do you want for $12,495,000M? Shame that the article didn’t help with the real estate world in getting close to asking price for this beautiful location in mid country Greenwich, by saying that there was a glut of inventory. Don’t they get it? We don’t need to wait for an answer…
What surprises me when I see properties over $10M is the expectation that it will have everything…some do, but most don’t – read on ad compare…
218 Clapboard Ridge Rd – $15,000,000
8 Bedrooms, 9+ baths, 5 acres – inconsistent with a luxury listing, is
the small oval pool and a shallow theater that requires the viewers to
look up at the screen – strange for a $15M price tag. To see the full listing:
6 bedrooms, 6+ baths, 3.85 acres…This doesn’t have a finished lower level – so no theater, wine cellar or gym. It has a better kitchen than the one above… see the full listing below
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!
