"Located close to town on a unique cul-de-sac this beautifully renovated 3 bedroom ranch boasts an open floor plan, pecan wood floors throughout, modern chef's kitchen with Viking, Subzero and Asko appliances opens to an eating area with fireplace and the family room all with built-in cabinetry. Home is nestled on 1.51 acres of spectacular property encompassing in-ground pool, level lawns, stone walls and mature trees. The Master suite has a newly redone bathroom and 2 spacious walk-ins closets. Large windows throughout that overlook private, flat property. Square footage differs from Town Hall records." *

Our president hopeful Hillary and ex-president Bill have bought the house next door to their current home in Chappaqua, New York, for $1.16 million, according to deed information on the Old House Lane home. I used to drive by on Sawmill Park Way between Mt Kisco and Pleasantville, NY.  I knew there were many larger size 1 ac estates in that town. The estate is off exit 120 and  King Street.
 
The current purchase is a 3,631 sf home bought from an architect. It is significantly smaller than the one they own since 1999, a 5,300 sf estate behind trees when she was running for NY senator.
 
Not sure about her motivation, but the rich and influential like privacy. Mark Zukerberg who is originally from Dubbs Ferry not far from the affluent town bought all houses around his Palo Alto home so no one can peek at his backyard and pool. Jimmy Stewart wanted to have a vegetable garden in Beverley Hills, CA. He razed his neighbor house for a garden.
 
This new acquisition allows visitors friendly or not to be insulated more making the Secret Service job easier. The town has voted the lane to be traffic-only meaning no parking allowed on either side. The agents now screen cars at the start of the cul de sac.
 
What happens if Hillary loses at presidential election? Is Donald going to say Zestimate says she paid too little?  Will home value go down as a result?  That is another story.

Sam, the Clinton's have wonderful taste in real estate.  Their home here in DC is one of the most amazing places I've ever seen - although I've not seen it since the sale before they bought it.  This one looks pretty modest by comparison!

We have an estate realtor from Chappaqua. She contacted me saying their 5300 sf is not in the best part of town. She sees Bill at yard sale and I assume he is the one have more time to select another home.

Sam Shueh - Real estate for the rich, famous, and well-known is always fun to follow!  Trying to figure out their motivations is always another story!  Great post!

Hi Sam Shueh ,  That's quite interesting!  The rich and famous have huge estates for just two people and probably see some rooms or other homes they own maybe once a year.  They're too big for me!

Good Saturday morning Sam Shueh -  I had to smile at your last paragraph. I normally don't follow the rich and famous lifestyle but your title caught my attention. Good job my friend.
