Some homes have backyards. This one has a nightlife. At 9 Godfrey Lane in prestigious Old Chester Hills, evenings unfold the way they're supposed to — lanterns glowing under twin pergolas, the pool shimmering against the dusk, dinner stretching long on the covered stone patio beside its own fireplace.

Single-family homes in the Elwood Union Free School District sold for a median of $850,000 (typically $725,000–$1,000,000) across 118 recorded sales between Oct 7, 2025 and Oct 2, 2026, up 7.6% on the 12 months before. This home's $2,649,000 list price sits in the luxury single-family tier for the Elwood Union Free School District.

At about $25,571 a year, this home's property tax runs roughly 83% above the $14,000 typical for Elwood Union Free School District. Suffolk bills combine town, school and special-district levies, so two homes at the same price in neighboring districts can carry materially different taxes. Exemptions such as STAR, Senior or Veteran move the number as well — a new owner's bill is often not the same as the seller's.
