Price Match: A Larchmont High Rise vs. a Hilltop Home

Amy R. Partidge January 25, 2018

What can $1 million buy you in Westchester? Not everything you desire, but still a very nice place to call home.

10 Byron Pl, #422, Larchmont

1,444 sq. ft.; 2 BR; 2 BA

Two-bedroom residences in the Larchmont luxury condo building The Cambium seem tailor-made for a downsizing couple whose kids have left the nest — this one is a bright and airy unit with a gourmet kitchen boasting top-of-the-line appliances and finishes, spacious bedrooms with large closets, luxurious bathrooms, and on-site amenities, like a 24-hour doorman, fitness center, and a playroom for the grandkids. (Bonus: no onerous yardwork!) Just don’t expect to fit the whole brood: Space is tight at slightly more than 1,400 square feet.

7 Hilltop Rd, Katonah

â€‹4,280 sq. ft.; 5 BR; 3.1 BA

For buyers at a different stage of life, a custom-built Georgian Colonial in the Orchard Hill estate area of Katonah (Somers schools) offers plenty of room to roam, with 4,000-plus square feet and a 2-acre property. Upscale flourishes like a cathedral-ceilinged entrance foyer, Palladian windows, French doors, and crown moldings abound, but the home’s style shows its late-’90s pedigree, and many buyers would choose to upgrade the dated kitchen and baths.
