Iconic Property Tops Scarsdale’s Highest Sale of the Year, So Far!

This week, Scarsdale’s home sales market continued to show the strength typical of one of Westchester County’s most affluent suburbs. Home prices generally fall in the high-end range, with recent median prices around the low $1 million mark. However, the homes sold this week pushed the average sale price this week to approximately $6,475,000, reflecting strong activity in the luxury segment. Even in winter, sales remain competitive due to limited inventory and high demand, particularly for larger or recently renovated homes, keeping Scarsdale attractive for sellers and signaling continued interest from high-end buyers.

One property that illustrates the evolution of the local market is 1 Duck Pond Road. In 2011, the original 109-year-old home, built in 1902, became the focus of a heated debate when buyers sought to demolish the long vacant structure, arguing it did not meet the Village’s historic preservation criteria. Although the house was over a century old, age alone wasn’t enough to secure protection, and with the Committee for Historic Preservation deadlocked, the house was ultimately taken down. A new residence was constructed in 2014 on the 3.73-acre site, which later sold in 2021 for $9,875,000. After additional recent renovations, the home closed this past week for $9,975,000, demonstrating the enduring appeal of the Duck Pond location and the value created through strategic redevelopment.

Below are the two homes that sold this week, along with two featured listings.
