Shoot a Period Piece in This Crisp $8.75M Colonial | Bedford NY Real Estate

-




Though it's hardly the most monumental home in rarified Greenwich—that honor would go to Cooper Beach Farm, by virtue of its $120M sale price—the 6,500-square-foot Voorhis Counting House, in all of its relative modesty, could be called one of the primmest. Nowhere does it fall out of lockstep with the town's well-earned reputation for starchy home design. But it can't really be faulted for that when it looks so good doing it. This is one of the rare instances where the listing text isn't guilty of gross hyperbole; why yes, the staggered stone terraces on the grounds do make this look like a "very special home," and the updated 1800s guest house is "superb." Last sold in 2004 for $3.65M, this four-bedroom sits on two waterfront acres in the "exclusive Quarry Farm enclave" of Belle Haven. The ask? $8.75M.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches.
