The Gateway to the Country

Armonk is first northern Westchester suburb that has a genuine country feeling.  Its armonk gazebo Out and About in Armonkrolling hills and sweeping vistas suggest a bucolic retreat from the hustle and bustle. Homes are sited on large parcels of land that give their owners privacy and solitude.  Yet 15 minutes from Armonk is the hub of White Plains and shopping at The Westchester. To the north and a 10 minute drive is Mt. Kisco, with shopping and restaurants. Express trains from the North White Plains Metro-North station take you to Grand Central Station, total commute time is less than an hour.

Armonk also has a thriving corporate population, namely IBM’s 25 acre corporate headquarters, and SwissRe US headquarters. Employees keep local retailers busy and most importantly, Armonk’s substantial corporate tax base keeps residential property taxes lower than other towns in Westchester.

Shopping

Main Street in Armonk is home to Hickory and Tweed, a venerable name that has for decades properly clothed residents for outdoor pursuits. Francophile shoppers love to browse at La Dentelliere which offers European linens, housewares and accessories while Table D’Hote has an eclectic selection of tabletop and glassware from around the world.

Restaurants

The Bonus Factor

The New York Times reported that Wall Street bonuses will be record-breaking.

Will bonus money trickle down to the real estate market in 2010?

2918779 flagler 150x150 The Bonus FactorIf past luxury sales are predictive of future activity, Westchester’s luxury market looks like it is on an upswing. In the typically slow month of December, Houlihan Lawrence closed two $5 million plus sales: an $8,000,000 waterfront property in Mamaroneck was sold by Cathy Devore from the Larchmont office. Mamaroneck is located on the Long Island Sound with miles of beaches and several waterfront neighborhoods.

2904222 castle 150x150 The Bonus FactorFurther north, Armonk’s Brian Milton sold a 1907 seven acre estate for $5,100,000. Armonk, a bucolic hamlet, offers country living at its best with a 38-minute commute to Grand Central Station.

Both Cathy and Brian’s buyers recognized the value of these special properties, and favorable market conditions that make now a good time to buy. Pending sales of $5 million+ properties point to the same conclusion.

Do you think it is a good time to buy?
