98 Rowayton Avenue, Rowayton, CT 06853
$2,195,000
Call us! (203)803-9634
Finally! It looks as though 15 Ridgewood is sold... We'd like to give that buyer, whoever they may be, a shout-out! Congratulations on getting one of the best deals under $1M in town- such a great street...great property...ready for a saavy buyer to personalize and make their own! If you like the street, but don't want to do the work, Prudential (www.prudentialct.com) does have another listing on Ridgewood for $1.329M- great space & totally updated!
But for those of you who can't buy that high, and do want that amazing deal like Ridgewood without having to do ANY work- don't forget we have 34 Hunt Street listed for $649k. How many places can claim an easy walk to town AND an easy walk to the train? (without exagerrating?) No joking-in the under $1M crowd- this house really has it all, with the most convenient location!!
Onto our new FABulous listing...
98 Rowayton Avenue... Where do we begin? The owners of this home took what was a very funky and cool home with Five Mile River views and added their personal touch to bring it to the next level- truly!
If it is possible to create a chic and sophisticated living space while keeping a casual and beachy feel all at the same time (ahem... embracing Rowayton's lifestyle!)...this home does just that. Aside from getting a completely move-right-in home, the new homeowners can expect to take over the tradition of walking across the street to '101' for breakfast, lunch & dinner- if you like! Or maybe just ice cream in the afternoons....
If you prefer to be a little more active, just walk the kayaks a block down the street to Community Dock and launch into the river! Summertime is really a treat here...The current owners flew their favorite landscape designers into town this past summer to completely re-do the yard and patio areas for a gorgeous finished product - We only wish you could see it now in all its glory... Is it Spring yet??? If you think this home could be perfect for you or someone you know, call us for a private showing today! We should have the property website up and running this week- so we'll keep you updated! www.98rowaytonave.com

We really lucked out this weekend with the weather- Prudential Connecticut had our Statewide Open House event and we couldn't have had more sun or warmer temps (for February,) to boost activity for the weekend. Joe and I hosted an open house on Sunday and I've never had that many people through the front door in a 2-hr period!
Let's hope the weather keeps up- this should help buyer enthusiasm greatly!
For those of you who hadn't noticed- that home at the end of Crooked Trail that seems to have been frozen in mid-construction with the winter weather, has finally come on the MLS for sale at $779,900. I remember going to look at it with my father (builders always want to go check out other job sites in their free time...??) It was maybe early Fall and the sign posted on the front told us to call the lawyer handling the foreclosure for buyer inquiries. Well, the lawyer didn't know a thing about it, and then after calling the bank, the bank pointed back to the lawyer... I'm pretty sure this may be why the home has been sitting there for months and months... But now we've all got access to it, as it is officially listed for sale- it seems to be good construction and the main framing work is done. It would just need someone to finish it off. The location is nice and quiet, yet there is a footpath that takes you right over to the Rowayton train station within a couple of minutes. (You can see the train go by all the way at the back of the property, but it is far enough back that I don't think it would impact your outdoor enjoyment much.)
If you'd like more info on this home or anything else that you see while driving (or hopefully, WALKING now,) give us a call! :)
Have a great week!

Hello & Happy February!
Ok- So it is true, the house on Cudlipp Street that came on the market just 2 weeks ago today did actually sell to a buyer who walked into the public open house!! So listen up folks: They are out there!! We realize that Cudlipp was truly 'priced to sell,' but it just goes to show that there are buyers out there who are ready & able!
Anyone thinking about making a move, now is really the time to buy!!

Our office also has a new listing that is in one of the most spectacular locations in Rowayton- 41 Bluff Avenue.

Built in 2001 by Ted McFarlin (ETM Construction, here in Rowayton,) this house is really killer-check out this sunrise!!!

This direct waterfront home is priced at $3.1M and if you'd like to full listing info or even want to take a closer look in person, just let us know! (203)803-9634
