Under Contract in Under a Week

Posted on June 12, 2014 by amyharrisonline

This listing of mine went “Under Contract in Under a Week.”

Granted, it is in a superb location – close to schools, train and town, has been expanded from a traditional split level style to a true contemporary home, and has fantastically landscaped property that covers almost a half acre. Yes these elements combine to make it a very in demand home – but the fact that it went under contract in under a week is also a testament to the vitality of the South Orange real estate market.

The 3 competing offers were submitted by buyers who were ready to move quickly because they had probably lost out in other multiple bid situations in South Orange / Maplewood. These buyers are still out there and ready to buy in either town. Let me know if you are thinking of selling your home and maybe we can get your house under contract in under a week.

The South Orange market continues to be hot!

If you are thinking of buying a home soon or down the road, I hope you find my booklet “Top 10 Resources for Home Buyers” a valuable tool.

Since there are so many steps from contract to closing, it is great to have an effective reference/guide handy, like this booklet, so you access what you need when you need it – instead of being given information overload upfront. Let me know what you thin.

South Orange Kids Achieve Excellence

Posted on June 12, 2014 by amyharrisonline

I know there a lot of towns with great stories of kids achieving notoriety for their excellence in academics and beyond. In some area towns I’ve read about selfless kids starting charities for friends with severe medical challenges. But as a South Orange resident for almost 20 years, I have been continually amazed at the level of excellence our kids achieve.

One special kid is a Columbia High School senior who is graduating very shortly. The first time I met Olivia Baker she was about two years old and her baby sitter brought her over to have a play date with my son who was about the same age. Her infectious smile was something that struck me then and continues to be infectious to everyone she comes in contact with today.

Maybe it is a sign of her inner confidence that she can “just do it,” or is a result of a nurturing, unconditionally loving family or maybe she was just born this way. But by all accounts she is a phenom. Today she is lighting up huge audiences with her record breaking track achievements. She just anchored the 800 relay and helped the Columbia High School Girls track team set a new record at the Penn Relays on April 14, 2014.

And this was no one off. She has been breaking records all over the state for several years, and is now considered the fastest high school girls runner in the state. But that’s not all. This fall she will be taking her track talents as well as her academic talents with her as she goes off to join the Stanford University freshman class of 2019. She will run track for this fine institution and is going to the Olympic trials.

She will be competing again at the Jun3 13-15, 2014 New Balance National Championships. In fact she is such a star they are using her in their promo spot on the internet. (you can see her in action here )

Her “just do it” sunny outlook applies to her academics as much as it does to her athletics. Did I mention the fact that she is also pursuing her education with the same vigilance and hopes to one day be a neuro- surgeon? I may have also forgotten to mention her parents may be some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The character of the people in South Orange continues to inspire me.

Luxury Home 2 acres 30 min to NYC

View the Property Details, More Photos, Map & School information here at the updated Single Property Website!

This one of a kind stone manor home was built in about 1925, using the stone excavated from the mountain it sits on, creating an incredible landscape. With seasonal views of Manhattan and a total renovation eight years ago this home is truly move in ready.

In the last 8 years a new roof was installed, new electrical panel and wiring, new plumbing, installation of a multi zone central air conditioning system, and a chef’s kitchen. In additon to these improvements the floorplan of the home was reworked to make it more open, more entertaining friendly and to capture the sensational light it bathes in.

The kitchen has 3 walls of glass and is completely open to the breakfast area and Great Room. In addition to custom cabinets and stainless appliances (WOLF and Sub Zero) it has a center island with breakfast bat and terrazzo floors with radiant heat.

It is indeed a special home for those who want something out of the ordinary.
