Sara was a personal chef and food columnist. Her Emmy-nominated show, Recipe Revamp, took food lovers on a journey to meet renowned chefs and discover the secrets behind their signature dishes.

Being able to match the perfect person with their perfect home is a rush that never gets old for her.

The most successful luxury developer in Westchester, with over 30 years experience and 50 first-rate houses in Rye to his name, Paul Varsames is carrying on--and surpassing--Rye’s 200 year old tradition of building spectacular estates on the shoreline. With the 2022 sales of his 4 Topsail Lane and 45 Manursing Way, he created a whole new level of luxury in Rye. After meeting with Paul and his team, the ultimate buyers for Topsail and Manursing Way bought off-the-floor plans in under a month! Such is the credibility and confidence Varsames and his long-time trusted team inspire in client after client. Initially honing his craft alongside his father, one of Westchester’s most reputable builders, Varsames has gained a reputation for collaborating exclusively with the most renowned designers, contractors and landscapers and ultimately delivering five-star properties. The experience of a Varsames-built home invariably generates reams of superlative-laden testimonials.

Varsames is not only the largest landowner in Rye, he is also a resident who is deeply committed to the community: a familiar, trusted face around town and on the job, who is an active supporter of the Rye YMCA and Rye Police. Paul’s longstanding relationship with the City of Rye ensures confidence that Paul will more than do justice to this historic parcel. Not only will he meticulously restore the 1770 barn, but re-imagine and restructure the marina with 5 slips for personal use, rigging it with every possible state of the art, environment-respecting technology. Thriving for over 300 years, the new Tide Mill will be built to last for another 300 or more.
