Back for more on Byram Shore

200 Byram Shore Road, originally listed for $7.6 million in 2019 and passing through several brokers and price suggestions ever since, is back again with another agent and a new, improved price of $5.495. It’s not a bad house at all, designed in a style sure to meet the approval of many Byram residents, and even perhaps, buyers who missed out on 86 Lockwood Road.

There are rver views, but no access, although that’s not much of an issue because the Port Chester sewer plant across the river has long made recreational use of the Byram problematical:

Port Chester Harbor: The Port Chester Harbor is one of ten maritime centers on the Long Island Sound. The popularity of recreational boating is reflected in maritime-related uses along the Byram River shoreline. NYSDEC tested the Harbor for pollutants and listed floatable and pathogens as high priority issues. As such, the harbor is unfit for swimming most days.

That might sound a bit discouraging, but you can still boat on the river, and the “floatables” referred to are easily spotted and avoided; they really don’t smell that much, either. On most days. In the winter.
