The Heathcote: Now Renting in Scarsdale

We’ve been following the long saga of the conversion of the Heathcote Tavern to residential units for almost as long as Scarsdale10583 has been in business, so it’s nice to hear that eleven of the fourteen units are complete and the building is scheduled to open on October 1. After years of debate about the use of the land, preservation of an historic property, potential traffic woes and the risk of swelling enrollment in the schools, the project is finally on the verge of completion and all of these fears seem to have vanished.

From the outside, we noticed some lovely landscaping, a new sidewalk, new curbing and even a new street, as Weaver Street is now being paved. It was easy to park in the street level garage where we learned that each apartment has been allotted two parking spaces, along with a storage unit. There will be a doorman on duty 24/7 and the building also has its own gym.

But the big surprise was the grand interiors of the units, ranging from a one bedroom at 1,295 square feet – with a 575 square foot terrace, to some two and three bedroom units at over 3,000 square feet, with their own spacious outdoor terraces. The 11-foot ceilings and gas fireplaces give the homes a feeling of grandeur. Not only were the apartments big –- but they were very well appointed. They feature open kitchens with top of the line appliances, wine refrigerators and even separate laundry rooms with full sized washers and dryers. Bathrooms were also large and luxurious with marble floors, separate showers and soaking tubs, double sinks … you name it. And in the units I toured, the closets were the size of small bedrooms.

I learned that given the recent downturn in the luxury market, the units are now available for rent – with five of the apartments already leased. Realtor Dawn Knief of Compass explained that tenants receive a one-year lease with the option for a one-year renewal. After that, the developers hope to sell the units as condominiums.

With the benefit of home ownership flagging under the new tax laws, renting makes sense for some. Families new to the suburbs might want to rent, to see how they like living in Scarsdale without the hassles of maintaining a home. Empty nesters who want to remain in town, might also find these homes to be a good option. Knief pointed out that The Heathcote is also a good option for people who need housing while their own homes are under construction or while they decide where they want to move permanently.

And unlike some other multi family units, there are no age restrictions, so families with children – and pets – are welcome.

What’s the price tag? It’s not inexpensive, but probably comparable to what one would pay in Manhattan. Rents range from $6,000 - $14,000 a month, depending on the size of the unit. Take a look inside The Heathcote here.
