It seems that many of today’s buyers are more interested in new finishes, regardless of the quality of construction, rather than appreciating the build of an older home, and preserving it. I get it, sometimes it falls out of the budget to purchase and then restore, but mostly, people just don’t care about the character of a home. It becomes a commodity that provides shelter with no romantic notion of loving your home.
121 ROUND HILL RD GREENWICH CURRENTLY LISTED FOR 2,365,000
I have shown this home a couple of times, with no takers. It has so much potential and sits on one of Greenwich’s premiere streets. Yes it needs trees in the front to mitigate the effect on being close to the road – but totally doable. Yes it needs a new kitchen and some new baths, but there are resources that provide barely used kitchens/baths at a fraction of the cost of new ones. The primary suite can be re-imagined with an adjacent room – and it could be fabulous.
Sitting on 2 acres, with a vernal stream this rear yard currently has a pool and as beautiful as it is now, could be even more beautiful.
If you’re reading this, reach out for an opportunity to own a true Greenwich home in the heart of Round Hill.
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!
