Cool Contempo


This 1973 Croton contemporary has style--and a killer view. While the kitchen really isn't working for me, the living room more than makes up for it. At 2,500 square feet, the house has 4 bedrooms. Located off of Lounsbury Road, the 0.92 acre property has a country feel but is a short stroll to the arboretum and is close to the village and train station. Oh, and there is a nice-looking pool, too. A big draw-back is the tax bill of $18,000 (which seems quite high for a moderate-size home on a small lot). What do you think of the price? $1,195,000 Houlihan Lawrence, Google Map

I would say it is a good deal except for those taxes. The location is great and the view is amazing. But the house and land are pretty small and paying 18 grand a year seems too much. Given the taxes I would expect the house to be 100 grand cheaper.

You think the taxes are too high? That's actually normal for the size of the home and the amount of land (it's almost an acre). I think it's a good deal for a home in Westchester County with excellent views.

Taxes seem a bit high compared to other homes in Croton, but I agree with 7:51 that, all in all, this seems like a good deal. The views are amazing! I could hang out on that deck all day.
