10 of the Best New Properties With Private Outdoor Oases - Back To Nature | Chappaqua Real Estate

-


When warmer weather hits, just about every human (at least those that like sunshine) wants to spend time outside. For most New Yorkers, that meansheading to the park, but there are plenty of homes in this concrete metropolis that have their own private green oases. There are hundreds of places on the market right now that come with outdoor space, and we picked out 10 of the best that hit the market within the last week. They range from Brooklyn townhouses to sprawling Upper East Side penthouses to cute garden apartments, like the unit pictured above. It's a one-bedroom duplex in Turtle Bay, with French doors leading to a quiet landscaped garden. Asking price is$865,000.

The listing describes this place as a ROCKSTAR PENTHOUSE, and we're inclined to agree. Who else needs an outdoor shower besides a rockstar? Said shower is part of a 1,525-square-foot rooftop terrace that comes with a Viking gas grill, refrigerator, and ice-machine. It's located at 100 West 18th Street, and it's asking $5.75 million.
Somewhat surprisingly, 296 5th Street is the only Brooklyn townhouse on this list, and it's not even a single family home. Nevertheless, it's a charming three-story house, and the lushly planted backyard is just crying out for an urban gardener. The three apartments may deter some buyers, but the $1.799 million price tag is sure to attract someone soon.
The brokerbabble calls this place a "glamorous getaway in the sky," and while that may be a little over the top, it is quite impressive. It's a penthouse unit at825 West End Avenue, and the wraparound terrace is more than 900-square-feet large. It's in a prewar condo building, and the asking price is $2.675 million.
This garden duplex on West 22nd Street in Chelsea has two-bedrooms and a working fireplace for $1.585 million. The brokerbabble doesn't mention the garden, but the photos show a landscaped area with built-in planters.

Housing Prices Are Up, Up, Up in Southern California | Bedford Real Estate

-
Housing prices nationwide are up, but in most areas we haven’t seen scary kinds of increases. It’s a different story here in Southern California, though, where home prices have  risen 25 percent in the past year: “We’re deep into uncharted territory,” DataQuick President John Walsh said, citing “razor-thin” inventory, pent-up demand, low interest rates and all-cash purchases by investors and wealthy individuals. “How this all plays out is educated guesswork at this point.” ….Extremely low inventory and mortgage rates have ignited those bidding wars and helped turn the housing market into an economic bright spot — both in the Southland and nationwide. Investors have also played a major role in the recovery that began last year, buying run-down, lower-cost properties to fix up and rent out. Is this a bellwether for the future—and for the rest of the country? Maybe not. Richard Green, director of USC’s Lusk Center for Real Estate, thinks prices will ease later in the year for...
