We're looking back and looking forward this week. Before reviewing this week's home sales, we invite you to see three homes that formerly graced Scarsdale. Courtesy of the Scarsdale Historical Society, these are three homes that are lost to time, but not forgotten.
And now back to the present: With the weather pretty much perfect for this first week of November, six more Scarsdale and Edgemont houses had sunny closings and the forecast looks bright for these lovely homes. Take a look.
