Contract on Bailiwick

19 Bailiwick Road

19 Bailiwick. askimg $2.875 million; started at $3.850 back in May, 2016.

There must be something nice about Bailiwick (in fact, there is), that keeps persuading owners who live there to overvalue their homes. The previous iteration of this house, pre-renovation, was originally priced at $3.495 in 2007, and finally sold for $2.025 in 2009. 

I think its appeal, besides its architecture so reminiscent of their homes across the border, is that Westchester County residents can move here to escape that state's taxes while remaining close to their friends.

It's certainly not the convenience to town that's the draw, nor the ever-present Merritt Parkway noise.

The sellers have promised to take this chandelier with them when they go — with some hard negotiating, they might be persuaded to remove all the lighting fixtures
