In Contract: The High-End Market Shows Some Life

The high-end market is showing some life in Scarsdale. Though buyers and sellers may be holding off closings until the end of the school year, there are quite a few homes in contract. On this list are two well-known homes on Morris Lane. At 2 Morris Lane, the Monte Nido Corporation attempted to purchase the house to open a treatment facility for adolescent girls with eating disorders. After considerable discussion and the threat of a lawsuit from neighbors, Monte Nido withdrew the application and the house is now in contract with another buyer. 10 Morris Lane, the former home of Eda Newhouse, a celebrated Scarsdalian who ran the Scarsdale Historical Society, has a buyer as well.

An application to demolish the 1929 Tudor-style home on an acre at 1 Dolma Road has been filed with the Committee for Historic Preservation who will consider it at their next meeting on Tuesday June 28 at 8 pm.
