Save This Spot!


This lovely 1915 colonial has a great setting: It's directly across the road from the hundreds of acres of trees on the Wilkens Fruit and Fir Farm in Yorktown Heights. The just-listed 4,000 square foot home has 7 bedrooms, lots of original detail, and loads of charm. While some updates are needed, the house has plenty going for it. Sadly, the 3.9 acre property is being sold as 3 lots: a 1.6 acre lot with the house and two 1 acre building lots. (I was able to verify that in April, 2007 the owner applied for a zoning variance to divide the property. Evidently, that application was approved.) Personally, I'd hate to see this gorgeous house and lovely spot overwhelmed by two McMonsters. Hopefully, the buyer will leave well enough alone. $1,650,000

Saw the house just before it was bought most recently. It sits uncomfortably close to the road,but the saving grace was the space around it. Hope the dummies don't sell the lots.
