Open House Picks Yesterday – 2’S, 5’Sand 9’s

185 RIVERSIDE AVE – RIVERSIDE – NOW ASKING 5,650,000
This was a great surprise and the photos do not do it justice…it is a must see in person. The house is a Hobb’s built home –  beautiful solid construction….with a few very minor updates, this home would be perfect….TO SEE THE FULL LISTING CLICK HERE

2 GRIMES ROAD – $2,175,000
This house is impeccable, and for the buyer, the intrigue will be the Shorelands Association at the end of the street – kayak, paddleboard…the listing does not mention that it is in a flood zone or what the required elevation is, but it is Fema AE 13 – and Greenwich requires another foot – so the buyers should love the house the way that it is or may face having to raise it in order to be compliant. There is no mention of the current elevation of the house – or what the current owners are paying for flood insurance….TO SEE THE FULL LISTING CLICK HERE
6 LIGHTHOUSE LANE – $9,900,000
It’s all about this….the neighbors, as most properties in Old Greenwich, are close. And the other consideration, is that it is the best house on the block. The buyer(s) will not be wowed by the interior – it is not as sophisticated (in my opinion) as it should be for this price, but it is built to withstand ANYTHING. Gideon was touring while I was there, and told us that the walls were made of concrete!

The sellers bought it 11 years ago for $6.9M and added a wing – which integrates nicely with the original house (which is built to withstand anything) ….TO SEE THE FULL LISTING CLICK HERE

Open House Pick of the Day – 9 Chieftans Rd – A GREAT OPPORTUNITY

9 CHIEFTANS RD – $3,200,000
I have seen many Chieftan properties – there are 28 total, but I really like this one. It is solidly constructed, it is the last one to be built. It is at the end of the drive, so it’s private and quiet.
The room scale and flow is perfect, and the lower level offers a fabulous wine cellar, beautiful theater and extra lounging and exercise space.

The seller bought this 6500SF+ home for $4,250,000  the year that it was built 2008, and it is sited on 1.17 acres.

THE PHOTOS DO NOT DO JUSTICE TO THIS ROOM

The kitchen opens to a beautiful family room….so this shot does not show the spaciousness and graceful flow into the family room…
