An Original Farmhouse is Sold in Greenacres
- Details

- Category: Real Estate
One of Scarsdale’s original farmhouses has recently sold. The house at 6 Donellan Road in Greenacres was built in 1899 and was known as the Donellan Estate. The property originally included 7 acres of orchards that were sold off to the Robert Farley Organization during the 1920’s to form 26 lots making up the neighborhood we now enjoy. The quiet street still feels like a country lane but is within walking distance of the Scarsdale train station.The house has been restored but still includes many period details including a grand entry porch, moldings, high ceilings, arched doorways and a wood paneled library. The 14-room home is 4,640 square feet on three stories with 6 bedrooms.
Map: Courtesy of the Scarsdale Historical SocietyThis map from 1910 shows that the original 7.4 acre estate owned by A.V. Donellan was sandwiched between the 6.8 acre James Brite estate and the 3.7 acre H.D. Brewster estate which were all subdivided by the time of the 1930’s map of Greenacres above.
Also take a look at the ad for the original sale of the house which advertises a “Beautiful All-Year Country Residence in Scarsdale.” It describes a home with features like “electric light and gas,” and “a stable water supply.” It also says the surrounding orchards supply “plenty of fruit in good variety.” About the commute to the city it says, “Forty minutes from Grand Central” with “forty trains each way daily.”
Most recently, the house was listed for $2,999,000 by Angela Retelny of Compass Real Estate who said, “We are so honored and excited to represent the sellers of a true Scarsdale gem. A rare and magnificent Victorian with a dreamy front porch and extraordinary character. The location on Donellan Road, a quiet enclave on the heart of Greenacres, made this offering even more special. The property attracted lots of viewings and interest. We are happy to report the property is now in contract!”

Home Sales: Is the Market Looking Up?
- Details

- Category: Real Estate
As reported by Houlihan Lawrence of ScarsdalFinally, after three years of soft home sales the market shows signs of turning a corner. News of lower interest rates and a slight increase in inventory mean that the Scarsdale market is projected to end 2024 with home sales almost even with 2023, but at meaningful higher prices. Edgemont is also seeing big price increases but the overall number of homes sold year to date is disappointing.
Here are the numbers as of September 30, 2024, the end of the third quarter, according to a market report from Houlihan Lawrence.
In Scarsdale, as of September 30, 171 homes were sold this year, as compared to 165 as of September 30 in 2023, a 4% increase. The median sale price rose 15% from $2,005,000 to $2,300,000.
In Edgemont, year to date sales as of September 30 were 52, a 24% drop from 68 homes sold as of September 30 in 2023. The median price rose a dramatic 23% from $1,337,500 at this time in 2023 to $1,650,000 at the end of the third quarter in 2024.
For the past ten years, the number of homes sold peaked in 2021 when 353 single homes sold in Scarsdale. In more typical year, home sales hovered around 250. So the market still has some recovering to do, but is hopefully trending upwards.
This week, two out of the three Scarsdale homes sold have gorgeous pools making you think of hot, lazy days of summer and not these cool October skies. Check out these recently sold homes and two featured listings below.

39 Penny Lane A Bauhaus Is a WOW house. An authentic one is a very rare find. 39 Penny Lane in Scarsdale is the real deal. Designed by Paul M. Doering who studied at the Bauhaus School and built this in 1937 for his parents (the family emigrated from Germany). This home is the definition of Bauhaus form, function and provenance. Bauhaus architecture's characteristics include functional shapes, abstract shapes used sparingly for décor, simple color schemes, holistic design, and basic industrial materials like concrete, steel, and glass. This period piece which is sited on a gentle rise and commands its own private acre has been thoughtfully preserved and carefully curated with an eye toward modern comforts and utility while holding on to the singular purpose and intrinsic beauty of the original vision. Walls of glass block, clean lines, enormous open spaces, soaring ceilings, steel stair railings and floor to ceiling windows invite a cinematic amount of light that bathes the brand new hand-lain herring-bone oak flooring which is in keeping with the clean linear sight-lines. You’ll just want to dance in the absolutely enormous living room which features a wood-burning fireplace (1 of 4), and an original mahogany sliding wall which glides on a brass track to create an intimate dining space. What’s new? It’s an extensive list (see separate sheet with (improvements) but the highlights include all new Marvin windows & doors which carefully echo the original steel casements, new HVAC system, new copper cladding & flashing, interior and exterior paint, pointing, new roof membrane, new electrical panel, outlets & switches and all new bathrooms with Carrera marble tile work. An all new butler's pantry with one of two Bosch dishwashers kicks off the party as you head into the brand new kitchen with a Bertazzoni induction range, Viking refrigerator and built-in microwave…and, and, and. What’s original & restored? Olive knob door hinges, built-ins everywhere, the lounge, stair rails, fireplaces, exterior stone stairway from the patio to the lower yard, the balconies (with new bluestone surfaces and railings) the lines, the vibe, the inherent cool….. Let’s review! 8 Bedrooms, 5,400 square feet, 1 acre of property, Specimen Plantings, Edgemont Schools, New Comforts & Convenience, 1930’s Solidity & Craftwork. All this and it bears repeating…Authenticity! Privacy, Property & Provenance on Penny!
