This week, two homes closed in Scarsdale just before the town was blanketed with nearly 20 inches of snow, one of the largest snowfalls recorded in the New York City region. Nearby Central Park logged totals that ranked among its most memorable storms on record, making the timing of these closings all the more impressive.
While winter made a dramatic statement, we’re already looking ahead to a warmer, brighter spring market and hoping to see activity heat up just as quickly as the snow piled up. In the meantime, take a look at the two homes that sold, along with two featured listings currently generating buzz.
