What $720,000 Gets You in Yorktown, NY




I just closed on a unique horse property in Yorktown, NY.  This house on Baldwin Road is conveniently located just minutes from the middle of town, yet less than a mile from the Taconic State Parkway.  This makes for a very easy NYC commute.  This turn of the century farmhouse sits on 3.35 acres and features 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2500 square feet and an inground pool.  The unique features of this property are its three stall horse barn and separate cottage.  The cottage can be rented out to help pay the carrying costs of the house.     
The property was listed at $725,000, which induced a bidding war.  As with many properties in Westchester County, this house sold close to asking price.  After a very intense negotiating period, my buyer was determined not to lose this property.  We placed a successful bid of $720,000.  We finally closed on this property yesterday.  Under normal circumstances, the buyer would be moving in and enjoying the new home.  However, this sale included a lease back period and a post closing possession. 
Yorktown is one of many areas in Westchester County that has seen positive shift in the housing market.  If you are looking to purchase or sell a home in the Westchester/Putnam/Dutchess area, or if you have any questions on the buying or selling process, please don’t hesitate to call, text or email.  I will be happy to help.
