New England Charm
Elyse Harney Real Estate makes
buying a home a reality
By Christine Liu
W
ithout a doubt, the Internet has changed the landscape of real
estate—especially for homebuyers. It’s made it exponentially
easier for homebuyers to search for homes, contact sellers
and make an offer— all without a broker. But these buyers
will miss out on real-life recommendations from brokers,
for anything from trustworthy contractors to tennis instructors to the best
restaurants in the area.
New England real estate connoisseur Elyse Harney Real Estate specializes in
homes in the New England area. The firm has a self-proclaimed commitment to
“a tradition of trust.”
“We have a commitment to our buyers [and sellers] to find the very best
proprieties at the absolutely best price,” said Elyse Harney, founder of Elyse
Harney Real Estate.
When the congestion and pollution of a big city has proved to be too much,
a move to a New England town may be just what the doctor ordered. The vast
nature and close knit community atmosphere of Connecticut has kept Harney a
loyal resident for over 50 years. She has raised five children, run a country inn
and is now the owner of a real estate firm.
“[New England is a] great place to live,” she said.
The agents of Elyse Harney Real Estate are not simply trying to sell a house to
the nearest doe-eyed home buyer; rather they are trying to sell a sense of home,
security and community.

A Quaint Escape
By Andrew Guarini
A
s spring slowly fades into summer the
minds of New Yorkers everywhere
begin to wander, realistically or not, to
weekend homes in lavish settings like the
Hamptons. Away from those daydreams,
and as close as only thirty minutes from Manhattan, lie
some hidden treasures on the water that are both quaint
and more affordable. Bettaer Homes and Gardens Rand
Realty specializes in homes in places like Rockland
and Westchester counties and the Hudson Valley with
Joseph Rand working as Associate Broker and General
Counsel, representing the company, the employees and
its 800 agents.
“Prices are significantly lower the farther you go
from Manhattan,” Rand said. “People can buy homes
with eight to ten acres with waterfront property for a
reasonable price.”
For Rand, the appeal of homes secondary or otherwise
in places like Rockland and Dutchess counties is ever
apparent. Rand himself is a resident of Nyack in Rockland
County and emphasizes the inherent “walkability” of
the village. “For people coming from out of town it is
30 minutes out of Manhattan without all the hustle and
bustle,” said Rand. “I live in downtown Nyack right now
and I can spend a week here without getting in my car if
I didn’t have to leave town for work. I can just walk up
and down the street to any shop or restaurant.”
Rand says the same appeal applies for other towns and
villages with open houses through Rand Realty, in places

like Piermont. “These are districts and old, traditional
villages that are all very walkable,” said Rand. “There’s
a ton of restaurants, antique stores, art galleries, nice
parks, some golf courses and if you’re coming down with
a boat you can dock it in Nyack at the yacht club there.
These are very affordable areas that provide good value
for your money and give you a lot of quaint amenities
within these small towns.”
Rand considers the current state of the market to
be a great chance for the curious consumer to make a

“Prices over the last five years have come down about

“We think we have now stabilized into a very flat market

where prices will stay where they are for another year companies in America to provide a training program for
or so, providing a very good housing opportunity. Now
a great planning experience, engaging in what they call

Villa, nestled in the hills of Florence. Glide thru its peaceful gardens, leading to 382 sq. meters of this “politely plutocratic” 3 Bdrm
apt. Imagine peeking over the shoulder of Tchaikovsky as he’s jotting down last notes to a Piano Sonata. Hear Swan Lake while your
mind’s eye is watching Countess Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck, as she composes one of her momentous letters to Tchaikovsky
in support of his talent. He and his quiet pen-pal and patron of his musical genius, exchanged over 1200 letters; some written from
this very spot. This magical apartment, completely renovated, is 1/4th of the notable Villa, once belonging to the Russian composer
who is said to have lived there in 1878. A list of Tchaikovsy’s well known and celebrated pieces written within this very Villa exists,
documenting his artistry. This ground floor apt also has 3.5 baths, sizable kitch, a formal living rm, 2 lrg fpls, ++ all modern conve-
niences including gym, ofce and plenty of spaceto create and compose your own classical concerto. (An upper level 222 sq. meter,
3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, terraced apartment is also available to combine or purchase separately.)
CASTELLO DI MONTACUTO! Lately you’ve been thinking: There’s more than just romance “Under the Tuscan Sun”. There’s
ENCHANTMENT -- enchanted landscapes from mountains to the sea, cathedrals, Etruscan and Roman ruins, fortresses, watch
towers and castles! Castles everywhere; architectural treasures, honorable tes- timonies to the medieval era rich in history and
culture. There’s so much to love about discovering the day to day magic of one of the most breathtaking, yet almost hidden spots
on earth. Off the tourist trail. . . Welcome! Or as the Tuscans say, “Benvenuti” to CASTELLO DI MONTACUTO! Originally intended
as a resolute fortification and watch tower, the castle has lived here since the 11th century. It was later ttransformed into an aristo-
cratic residence by the noble family Salviati who commissioned Francesco Granacci to paint the frescoed “Franciscan Friars” and
“Nativity”, dated 1520 a.c. for the family chapel. Landmark designated and classified by the Superintendent of historical Tuscan
monuments, the castle regales a main building with two floors: the main floor hosts three living rooms, a studio and a grand salon
with a magnificent loggia and terrace overlooking all of Florence. The second level hosts seven bedrooms and an additional loggia.
The tower has three floors and a covered space. 2000 square meters in structure totality. The inspiring park like gardens meander
over 30 hectares of olive groves waiting to be fully cultivated. If you don’t have a precise idea about where you want to live or visit
from time to time, get ready to meet and satisfy all your wishful thinking and longings for a once in a lifetime heaven on earth.
