“Darlington Hall offers a unique opportunity in both character and acreage, coupled with unparalleled architectural design,” Will Stuart of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England Properties told Westfair’s Westchester County Business Journal. Â “The buyers sought a property that offered this, along with privacy in an equestrian community within close proximity to New York City.”
Stuart said he sees strength in the high-end real estate market throughout Northern Westchester.
“The high-end market is setting records in Northern Westchester as a result of a tighter market in terms of inventory,” Stuart said. “While properties in this sector tend have more luxury amenities, buyers are seeking properties that are completely one-of-a-kind. My team is consistently pressed to seek off-market opportunities before they even hit the market. While cash is always favorable, strong financing isn’t discouraged. Buyers need to be prepared to move quickly in a market that demands readiness and flexibility.”
The previous North Salem sale that approached Darlington Hall was a property at 22 Nash Road that in June 2024 sold for $7.25 million. In December 2024, 126 Vail Lane sold for $5.65 million, also represented by Will Stuart.
