I signed two listings earlier in the week.  Neither will be in the MLS for a little while as last minute preparations are being completed.  But, for my loyal Basking Ridge Real Estate blog readers, I have a sneak peak!

161 Thackeray Drive is on the corner of Pond Hill Road and Thackeray Drive.  It is a four bedroom, two and half bath split level home with a large family room addition.  It has a two car garage and a basement.  It sits on .76 acres in the R6 (.75) acre zone, with an inground pool.  The house needs some work – okay, it needs a lot of work - but it’s a great location on a conforming lot.  The neighborhood sells strongly – the last property was listed at its tax assessed value and sold almost immediately over asking after multiple offers in February of 2009 which was before we started to see the market come back.  This property is a Weichert exclusive listing which I am happy to show you.  We are cooperating with other brokers so if you are already working with an agent, have them contact me and we can make arrangements for you to see the house.  Call me at 908-432-0318 or contact me via my website.  List price: $529,000

20 Old Coach Road is a traditional center hall colonial with an expanded kitchen featuring a center island, french doors, skylights and two pantries. It boasts a huge family room with cathedral ceilings and a first floor study. It has a great fenced yard with a two tiered deck and an inground pool. There is recessed lighting throughout the house, a newer roof(’07), two zone central air and several rooms have recently been painted. It also features a terrific master bedroom with lots of light, two walk-in closets and a bathroom with two sinks, a stall shower and a jetted soaking tub.  This property will be in the Garden State MLS on March 3rd and I will be hosting an open house on Sunday, March 7th between 12:00 and 4:00.  List Price: $929,000
