Two of Scarsdale's oldest buildings are for sale. The Scarsdale Historical Society is selling its 13-room farmhouse on .7 acres that dates back to the 1700 and 1800's. along with the Quaker Meeting House next door. The Historical Society has made the sale subject to a façade easement that will protect the east (Post Road) and south (Boulevard) facing façades of the farmhouse.
According to the listing, the buyer will have the option of subdividing the lot as long as the character of the new structure is in line with the old house.
The accessory building, known as the Quaker Meeting House is currently unheated, and includes 1,084 square feet of interior space with a wood roof on three levels. Both buildings are owned by the Scarsdale Historical Society and lie within the Scarsdale School District. The asking price is $895,000.
In an October, 2016 report from the historical society's President Randy Guggenheimer he reported that, "The cost of maintaining the Scarsdale Historical Society's buildings at 937 Post Road has far outstripped the benefits to the community of continuing to operate the Cudner-Hyatt House as a museum. The Cudner-Hyatt House cannot compete with other much more significant historic house museums, historic societies and libraries in our area. The Board of the Scarsdale Historical Society has concluded that the time has come to put the property up for sale."
The society will direct their efforts towards digitizing and preserving the history of Scarsdale, and cataloguing and making their historical documents accessible to the public for viewing.

Real Estate: A Super on Call in Scarsdale, Plus Home Sales and Featured Listings

- Category: Real Estate
Though I don't miss living in an apartment in the city, I do miss having a super in the building to call when things go awry. And from the number of discussions I hear in the dale about finding someone to fix the washer, touch up the paint or haul off an old couch, I know that many of my neighbors feel the same way.
Enter Shawn Singer, a property owner and manager and 17-year Scarsdale resident who was often asked why he couldn't help out his Scarsdale neighbors the way he assists his tenants in Manhattan and the Bronx. After pondering the idea, he realized that many homeowners in the area would welcome help with home repairs and maintenance and would be willing to pay a house manager to do it.
Last year, Singer founded Palace Guards Residential Concierge Services to "make private homeowner's lives easier by taking the stress of home management and putting it on his shoulders."
Palace Guards does all the things you hire others to do – like changing air filters, power washing, fixing leaks, installing light fixtures, dealing with your sprinkler system and more. They call on reliable service people that are trustworthy and have been thoroughly vetted. Customers pay a flat monthly fee and get a discount on all their requests – or decline the monthly fee and pay a bit more for each service request.
Whether you don't know where to turn or don't have the time to take care of the issue, Palace Guards can lend a hand.
Singer says that Palace Guards performs a wide range of services from working with realtors to get homes ready for people moving here from out of town to assisting people who are moving out with de-cluttering, staging and essential home repairs. Current clients use Palace Guards to keep an eye on their homes when they're away and to serve as handymen for odd jobs around the house.
What was one of the strangest requests Singer remembers? Recently, a couple was relocating to Scarsdale with six pianos and wanted to know if the six instruments would fit in the den together and whether or not the floor of the den could bear all the weight. Singer determined that yes, the pianos would fit and the floor would hold.
Singer says that he "Likes to get his hands dirty," and is enjoying meeting and helping so many locals. Find Palace Guards at their office in Eastchester where they promise to entertain all your requests, no matter how difficult!

Scarsdale BOT Turns Down Tax Phase In Legislation - Plus, Home Sales, Featured Listings and Weekend Open Houses
- Details
- Written by Joanne Wallenstein
- Category: Real Estate
Though the idea of offering tax relief to the hardest hit residents from the 2016 revaluation seemed like a positive step, after hearing no support for the move the Scarsdale BOT voted unanimously against the resolution.
The resolution would have requested that legislation be introduced into the NYS Assembly and NYS Senate to allow residents who are STAR eligible (earn less than $500,000 a year) and received greater than a 25% tax increase to phase in their increase over three years. The loss in revenue from those residents would be made up in tax increases to the balance of Scarsdale taxpayers.
Deputy Village Manager Robert Cole estimated that at most, 130 residents would qualify for the relief, and this number might be further decreased by those who had their assessments reduced by the Board of Assessment Review this summer.
A special meeting of the Town Board of Scarsdale was held on Tuesday October 25, following the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees to consider the resolution to authorize the "Phase-In (of) Certain 2016 Residential Real Property Assessment Increases.
Mayor Mark gave each of the trustees an opportunity to state their view and they all concurred. Trustee Carl Finger called the resolution a "Well meant concept," and said though he was "sensitive to the impact to increasing taxes on a number of residents in the community," he had "not heard anyone favorably disposed to it. No one who would benefit has come forward." Therefore he said, "I find it difficult to adopt something that is not supported by the community."
Trustee Pekarek agreed with Finger, saying, "While it is humane and would supply relief, we didn't hear from anyone who would benefit. It would take significant effort. I would rather work on reforming the way properties are assessed."
Marc Samwick said, "The reval was intended to achieve equity. Similar legislation has enabled people in other towns to remain in their homes. Earlier in the summer we heard about similar hardships and this was designed to ease the burden for certain residents. But based on lack of community interest, I intend to vote against it but would reconsider it if community interest was expressed."
Jane Veron said, "When I first learned about this I was eager to explore it for Scarsdale.... especially because some felt forced to leave Scarsdale. But I have only heard negative comments. Residents were overwhelmingly not in favor. Given the lack of support I do not feel comfortable asking others to assume the additional tax burden."
Matt Callaghan said that this legislation would be perceived as an inequity. He said, "We have already raised certain people's taxes," and this "will cause taxes for others to go up. I am voting nay."
Trustee Stern agreed and Mayor Mark put the matter to rest, saying, "For all the reasons I have heard I am not in favor of this."

Construction Moves Forward at The Heathcote
- Details
- Written by Joanne Wallenstein
- Category: Real Estate
After a delay of several months, construction is now moving forward at The Heathcote, the new 14-unit 43,000 square foot residential development at the Five Corners in Scarsdale. John Malabre of the New York City-based construction management firm REDCOM CM is taking over as the new builder, with the development team of Steve Oder and Andrew and Fred Fish of 2-4 Weaver Street Owner Corp. as project developers.
Malabre brings more than 30 years of construction experience, including Manhattan projects such as The Lipstick Building, the expansion of the Grand Central PO, the construction of several SoHo and Tribeca lofts, renovations on Upper East Side townhouses, and managing the conversion of the Stanhope Hotel into condominiums with Extell Development. Additional projects have included 834 Fifth Avenue, The San Remo and The Beresford, as well as projects in the Hamptons. Current REDCOM CM projects in Manhattan and Brooklyn include $85 million in commercial developments as well as $25 million in hotels and Upper East Side condos.
Malabre commented that a great deal of progress has already been made on the Heathcote. "The steel work is complete, and we expect the model unit, lobby and the Weaver Street exterior elevation to be completed by year end," he said. "The project will be completed by summer of 2017."
Built on the site of the former Heathcote Tavern, the new residential construction project is the first of its kind in Scarsdale in over 60 years. Featuring large two- and three-bedroom apartments the building will have no age restrictions, offers access to Scarsdale schools and is pet friendly. Buyers will have the opportunity to incorporate their own design tastes and give input into choice of stone, kitchen and bath cabinetry, floor styles, lighting and millwork. Each unit will feature architectural details, bright expansive rooms with high ceilings, gas fireplaces and outdoor terraces. Buyers can choose from many optional upgrades such as "smart home" automation units, a multimedia home theater set up, paneled libraries, motorized shades, wine rooms as well as fully equipped outdoor kitchens in the penthouse apartments.
"We are excited to welcome John Malabre and REDCOM CM to this highly anticipated project, and have every confidence that the company's vast experience in multi-residential luxury development makes them the perfect addition to the team," said Dawn Knief.
Dawn Knief and Mary Katchis of Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty's Scarsdale brokerage are representing the listings for sale, and are currently accepting reservations for private appointments to view the plans and options for customization.
