Unlike a bedroom or bathroom count, a spacious kitchen or ample closet space, the qualifications for finding the land for new construction are quite different
Having realized Greenwich Cove is the perfect waterfront view for their dream house, Rich Granoff immediately set out to find the right property. Unlike a bedroom or bathroom count, a spacious kitchen or ample closet space, the qualifications for finding the land for new construction are quite different. The hunt for the perfect teardown required vigilant searching and coordination with the realtor, Ed Mortimer of Sotheby’s.
First, it is important to understand that there are two types of homes in a waterfront town: those near the water and those on the water. When looking for a truly waterfront property, your options are a small percentage of the whole community.
Next, the team looking for the new location of ‘Villa Granoff’ began to evaluate the number one characteristic that would inform the final decision: the view. As the seed of the eventual design was permeating in Rich’s mind, he knew with certainty that he intended to feature the waterfront as much as possible. Maximizing the amount and quality of the water views was paramount.
