New York City is known to be a vibrant metropolis that has attracted potential homeowners. Primarily, the city has a lot to offer, especially to middle class workers who want to stay in a community that is both peaceful and calm at night. One of these communities is the town of Chappaqua which can be reached by commuters through train, a report from the Top Ten Real Estate Deals said.
"Chappaqua is open spaces, country lanes and homes on spacious lots attracting business leaders, professionals and celebrities from the big city to raise their children in a laid-back environment with excellent schools where they can enjoy a quiet evening out at a nice restaurant and an after-dinner stroll. It is home to many luminaries such as Bill and Hillary Clinton, former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and his Food Network girlfriend, Sandra Lee," the report said.
According to the report, Chappaqua town was settled into by Quakers back in the 1700s and has been described mostly as "dairy farms." In fact, Horace Greeley, the New York Tribune editor and later a presidential candidate in 1872 elections, had stayed in the town.
One of the properties in Chappaqua that is currently on sale is the luxurious and expensive 86-acre real estate property that features an elegant mansion inspired by a Georgian-style. It was said that the mansion has been designed by popular interior designer Boris Baranovich. The property's asking price is $17.9 million.
"The interior includes seven bedrooms and ten baths with large formal rooms, a two-story mahogany library, great room with bar and theatre and a chef's kitchen with fireplace and seating area and large master wing. There are indoor and outdoor sports courts, pool with pool house, sauna and steam room, gym, tennis and hiking trails," the report said.
"The hamlet of Chappaqua, with its diverse array of properties, neatly paved streets, and upscale restaurants is an ideal spot for those considering life in Westchester. A 50 minute drive from New York City, or a 53 minute commute on the Harlem Line," Houlihan Lawrence said, describing the town.
