Split level pricing continues in Amenia

AMENIA — In January, five properties over a million dollars and five under $350,000 were transferred with nothing in between. Silo Ridge accounted for three of the million dollar sales, each with less than half an acre of land, while the other two million dollar-plus sales had extensive acreage.

Looking at the 17 homes actively listed on the first day of spring the same bifurcation of the market is clear. Four homes are for sale over $3 million - only one of them is located in Silo Ridge. (Note that Silo Ridge properties are infrequently listed for sale on multiple listing services and actual sales only appear in reported transfer recordings. Condos, land and estates are listed for sale on their website.) At the same time five homes are available in Amenia and Wassaic for less than $400,000. Pending sales show a similar dynamic with five modestly priced homes with a median price of $249,00 and two over a million houses heading toward closing.

MILLERTON — On the Day of Ascension, observed this year by the Catholic Church on May 29, a mass celebrating Christ rising into heaven will take place outside in the burial ground at St. Patrick’s Church at noon.

To prepare for this special event, artist Svend Lindbaek is creating a giant wooden chair at his workshop at 2 Main St. The sculpture — designed by Father Andrew O’Connor, the new priest at the Immaculate Conception in Amenia — is based on a Bernini sculpture in the Vatican. O’Connor’s goal, like Bernini’s, is to create a sacred space for worship.
