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.

Bog Hollow Road (#306730) — 16.65 acres of vacant farm land sold to Wetland Trust Inc. for $300,000

230 Amenia Union Road — 66.11 agricultural field crop land sold to Kevin Bacon Trustee for $1.35 million.

96 Tinker Town Road — 3 bedroom/2 bath house sold to Joshua Lattrell for $275,000.

48 Roundabout Way — 4 bedroom/4.5 bathroom town house within Silo Ridge sold to David Koslovsky for $4.6 million.

29 West Amenia Road — 2 bedroom/1.5 bath ranch on .2 acres sold to Donald Valyou for $275,000.

With memoir...the character only knows what the character knows.
—Janice Erlbaum

In “Girlbomb: A Halfway Homeless Memoir,” published in 2006, author Janice Erlbaum wrote about the years after she left her family’s Brooklyn apartment at 15, moving through shelters, group homes, squats, clubs and the streets of 1980s New York while somehow continuing to attend high school. The book has sold more than 75,000 copies, stayed in print for two decades and continues to find new readers.

Now Erlbaum, 57, lives in Millerton and on Saturday, Sept. 5, at 7:30 p.m., she will celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Girlbomb” with a reading at Black Rabbit Dispensary. The event is open to the public and will be livestreamed on Instagram.
