Remarks

Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Brewster, New York, 36 Sylvia Barlow Way is a rare opportunity—a blank canvas with a story already partially written, waiting for someone to pick up the pen. What makes this property special is not just its size at 3.35 acres or its setting, but its history. At one time, it held an approved vision—an engineered site plan and a Board of Health Approval (BOHA) for a four-bedroom home. Somewhere in the past, a buyer or builder laid out plans for a home that would rise here, nestled among the trees, with space to breathe and grow. Unfortunately, the paperwork is no longer available, and the approval has since expired. But that past intention still lingers in the land itself, offering a head start to those who are ready to build. This is not raw wilderness. The lot is largely level, making future development easier and more cost-effective. There is little to no through traffic thanks to the cul-de-sac location. The neighboring homes are attractive and well-kept, offering a glimpse of what life on Sylvia Barlow Way could look like - spacious, and rooted in nature. Location-wise, the lot strikes a perfect balance. While it is located on a cul-de-sac, it’s also incredibly convenient. Just minutes from the intersection of I-684 and I-84, it's an ideal base for commuters heading toward NYC, Danbury, Westchester, or even Connecticut's Fairfield County. The Southeast train station is nearby, providing Metro-North access for those who prefer to leave the car at home. Local shops, schools, and restaurants are all within a short drive. Whether you're a homeowner with a dream, a builder looking for your next project, or an investor recognizing the growing value of well-located land, 36 Sylvia Barlow Way has the foundation—both literal and figurative—for something remarkable. With the expired BOHA as a starting point, the next step is clear: bring your engineer, begin the process to renew approvals, and tailor the future to your vision. In a market where developable land is scarce and demand for space continues to rise, this lot is a standout. It’s more than just acreage—it’s potential. The bones of a plan are already here. What’s missing is someone with the vision and drive to bring it to life. 36 Sylvia Barlow Way isn’t just a piece of land. It’s a second chance for a dream that almost happened. And maybe, this time, it's your dream that gets to take root.
