Sydney Anderson

Originally from Seattle, with a BA from the University of Washington, I lived for many years in New York City, working in theater and television. Then I turned my talents - and love of houses and home design - to real estate, working with a major Manhattan real estate firm. Many years ago, while cruising on our sailboat, my husband and I discovered the Old Saybrook/Essex Shoreline area, which has been called the "Second Gold Coast of Connecticut" by the NY Times. We thought we had found a slice of heaven right here on earth! Even our standard poodle, Riley, loves his life here on the Shoreline, with his many canine friends! When we purchased our home, I jumped enthusiastically into the role of assistant contractor for our total house renovation, which gave me a real understanding of home construction. In addition to my other real estate business, I soon became the listing agent for a 450 acre, 84 unit condominium development, for which my team won the Home Builders Association of Connecticut's award for "Best Marketed Mid-Size Community" for the entire state of Connecticut.
