Westchester County · NY
Bedford Real Estate
Bedford is a historic, estate-scale town in northern Westchester where a National Historic Landmark village green anchors miles of stone walls, gentleman's farms, and horse fences. The town is really three places at once (Bedford Village, plus the hamlets of Bedford Hills and Katonah) so you can trade a wooded multi-acre parcel for a walk-to-the-train address without ever leaving the town line. Michael runs his Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty office right here, at 4 Court Road.
Lifestyle
Living in Bedford
