Suburban Retreat

Realtors Dawn Knief and Mary Katchis of Julia B. Fee Sothebys in Scarsdale recently listed another mega home in town – this one is at 9 Heathcote Road. The 8,368 square foot home was built in 2006 and sits on 2.54 acres in the Heathcote Association and is listed for $13,300,000. Along with 7 bedrooms and 7 baths the house is outfitted with a home theatre, gym/yoga studio, and an art storage room. Outside there is a heated swimming pool, newly surfaced tennis court and an outdoor kitchen.

According to property records, the house is assessed at $10,341,000 with real estate taxes of $209,435. It was purchased in December 2011 for $10,884,000.

Why is it being sold so soon? It could be the increase in real estate taxes though the recent tax revaluation only raised taxes on the property by $7,000 per year.
