The wavy green glass and graffiti gate belong to 40 Bond, the only NYC building Herzog & de Meuron ever designed. Built with Ian Schrager in 2007, it still stops people on the sidewalk.

No surprise Residence 6D didn’t last long. The two-bed, two-bath was reimagined down to the floors by AD100 designer Robert Couturier, with eleven-foot ceilings and a wall of eight oversized windows. 1,269 square feet in NoHo, last asking $4.95M, and it has already found its buyer.

After 4 years of helping clients make the move in both directions, I’ve learned that the city vs. suburbs decision is rarely simple.

Some people thrive in the energy of the city. They love stepping out the door with no plans and discovering something new. They’re happy to trade a little extra space for walkability, convenience, and being close to everything.

Others are ready for a different pace. They dream of a backyard, a quiet street, and more room to spread out, while still having the city just a short train ride away.

I’ve worked with buyers who love the ease of building amenities and never want to worry about home maintenance, and others who can’t wait to leave co-op board approvals behind.

Having experienced both myself, I truly appreciate what makes each lifestyle special.

If you’re weighing your options, I’m always happy to talk through what matters most to you whether you’re headed to the city, the suburbs, or somewhere in between.

The Grand Tasting Village is back at Kensico Dam this Saturday, and it’s a great way to spend a June evening in Westchester. Over 40 local restaurants, more than 200 wines and spirits, and a chef lineup that pulls some of the best in the area, all in one of the prettiest outdoor spots in the county.

If you’re around this weekend, grab tickets before they go.

Congrats to my sellers on getting much closer to moving on to their next chapter and to the new buyers who get to live on one of the best blocks in New Rochelle- with the best neighbors! (Me included!)

As with every transaction- there is a story to tell and this one is worth telling (but- another time!)

168 Dorchester is a beautifully updated ranch on one of Scarsdale/Northern New Rochelle’s quietest, most sought-after streets. Three bedrooms with a flexible fourth, three full baths, and a renovated eat-in kitchen. The finished lower level adds around 1,700 square feet of flexible space, and the private backyard has a deck and fire pit for year-round gatherings.

Congrats to all!
