Not everyone heads to the burbs for a big front yard and more sky: Lately, bedroom communities are taking on a decisively citified sheen to please transplanted urbanites who don’t want to give up creature comforts. “They’d rather not get into a car every time they need a cup of coffee,” says Lisa Murphy, an agent with Houlihan Lawrence. “Instead, they’re popping the kids into a double stroller and hitting the sidewalk for their fix.” At 3 Club Road in Rye, an expanded 1928 Colonial with seven bedrooms, six fireplaces, and a guest apartment, which Murphy is listing for $10.65 million, is just a 10-minute walk to both the Metro-North station and martinis and dinner at Rye Grill & Bar or Ruby’s Oyster Bar. Another perk: Rye Country Day, a private Pre-K–12 school, is less than a mile down the road.
