While I was scheduled to be in the office to help out, I HAD to first pop over to the “Paine to Pain” Half Marathon, and cheer on the starters! Organized (brilliantly) and run by NewRo Runners each year, it never fails to be a success. I also heard mention that this was the largest turnout ever.
New Rochelle is GREAT!
Oh if only there was more time! I had scheduled an open house for clients that afternoon, and so had not realized the treat I would be missing had I stayed at the 2014 SoWe (Southern Westchester) Food & Wine Festival. It was held in Mamaroneck Harbor on Saturday, September 20th ( in Scarsdale on the 21st), but I did have the opportunity to help set up our booth, and stay from 10 -12 noon or so.. At the stroke of noon, I meandered around the stalls, and caught sight of Graham Elliot conducting a food presentation (Kung Pao Chicken). Houlihan Lawrence was a sponsor, and I understand the afternoon crowd was huge so a great success!
Westchester is GREAT!

The Paws for a Heart Gala is tonight at the Glen Harbour Club in New Rochelle. Commencing at 6:30 p.m. – it will be a wonderful celebration of this great no kill shelter, and what it does on a daily basis for its little furry (and sometimes hairless) friends jus to raise awareness and some much needed funds. Only 50% of their required expenses are financed through the various towns and villages the New Rochelle Humane Society represents. The balance is through fund-raising. 
I had written a blog post the other year on Ancestry.com. Little did I know that when I was researching my new (and wonderful) listing located at 61 Bayeau Road, I would come across a little snippet of information from the 1940 U.S. Census. Yes, mom. Many of our homes did once have maids (sigh!). This particular home has a wonderful addition featuring The Endless Pool ® which is a resistance pool, allowing the swimmer to swim at his or her own speed and ability or just have fun! Catherine would have loved it after a long day’s work! 61 Bayeau Road is being offered at $999,000, and is located just 30 minutes from new York City!
Excitement is always nice. However, being busy is just another day at the office for Lou Pollak, top producing agent for Houlihan Lawrence with over 28 years of experience. So, when Lou heard a rumor that President Obama might be visiting one of her listings (108 Premium Point Road, New Rochelle) the other week to view as a potential purchase, Lou – while not waiting by the phone, was, well, ebullient ( but then if you know Lou, she is always ebullient).. and after all, this particular property had been recently featured in the Journal News, is consistently being marketed worldwide and is a simply exceptional property.
As presented by Houlihan Lawrence’s Private Brokerage : “On Long Island Sound, this exceptional waterfront haven occupies four beautiful acres on Premium Point, one of the region’s most extraordinary locales. An unsurpassed location with wide open water vistas from every vantage point, the estate was the long-time home of Chock Full O’ Nuts coffee baron, William Black and his wife Page Morton Black. Sensational panoramic water views and generously scaled interior define this circa 1905 stone & clapboard Manor, featuring 6 bedrooms, 5.1 baths, formal dining room, spacious kitchen with butler’s pantry, family room, inviting living room with adjacent study, plus four fireplaces & an elevator. Also includes a separate stone guest cottage & a carriage house with garaging for ten cars. In addition, the community offers a 24 hour attended gate, community beach & private marina – all just steps away. Enjoy the finest of coastal living in a remarkably convenient locale near town, schools, train and NY City.
While Lou may never get that magical call from the President’s entourage, she also knows that this exceptional property located at 108 Premium Point, New Rochelle 10801 (Mamaroneck Schools) , will be sold to that discerning buyer wanting privacy, tranquility, close proximity to New York City, and all located within a gated, exclusive community on 4 acres of prime, waterfront property.
