"Those were the days my friends…

…they thought they’d never end” – and they’re back for some areas of Greenwich – but not for back country – therein lies opportunity.

Take 170 Old Mill Road – just listed yesterday. It was purchased by the current owner in 2006 for $8,850,000 on an asking price of $,9,400,000. The buyer probably thought that he got a great deal at the time.
Today it’s back for $6,900,000 – hurts.
170 OLD MILL ROAD – GREENWICH

It’s been rented (although not through a realtor – through a friend, friend of friend, or party whisper) – so that part of the property history is not visible on the MLS. I met the renter at a public open house recently – my guess is that one of the properties in pending status within the same brokerage got his business…going directly to the listing broker…just a hunch based on his MO 🙂

WALSH LANE ACTIVITY – New and Pending

21 WALSH LANE – $4,495,000
THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD
On and off with the same realtor for a very long time, it is finally with another today. Timing had lots to do with the history, and the first realtor was very successful with leases that carried the property to this point. It’s back with a slightly higher asking price than when it was last on the market in 2012 – so we’ll see…
48 WALSH LANE – LIST $5,990,000

Sellers bought this 6300+SF 5 bedroom house for $4M in 2008. Nothing exceptional, built in 2009. It’s a bit cookie cutter, in my opinion.

NEW
 
5 bedroms but only 2630 SF, so surely some of these are small – but nonetheless, it’s a cute house. The sellers bough it 4 years ago for
$1,480,000…and it doesn’t look like they made major improvements, since it was just built in 2007. Listing broker describes it as 3600 SF – oops
 
46 LOUGHLIN AVE – COS COB – LIST $1,675,000
 
CONTINGENT CONTRACT
 


And here is new construction – 2 Gregory Rd, Cos Cob…and the listing describes as being a 370 SF house, but the listing agent dscribes it as 40,000 – big oops…again it looks like a very nice property. 4 bedrooms, 3.1 baths and .3 acres –  so not a huge yard – sorry no photos of the property, so nothing to share…
 

2 GREGORY RD – COS COB – LIST $2,150,000

Not much to show in the way of interior shots for the new listings today, with the exception of the Shore Rd rental – they’ve offered 15 photos…

261 Round Hill only has this not so beautiful front shot and another that will be featured on my page: Wall of Shame. a 5 year old could take a better photo. For a $10+ million listing – really?

25 Windrose Way In Contract Today – 8.6.14

So 90’s drama, but well done, and still relevant (mostly)…
25 Windrose Way has a contract after 84 days, so it will be interesting to see where it closes. Built in 1991, 9800+ SF, 7 bedrooms, 8 full baths, 2 acres and  pool house.

Back on the Block – 261 Round Hill Rd – $10,995,000

Posted on by DEB HALSEY REAL ESTATE

Is it priced over $10M because the over $10M properties are trending better than their lower priced counterparts? Because it doesn’t make sense for any other reason…

An out of town realtor had it listed for $11,750,000 in April this year…maybe that’s where the lack of logic comes from – because it’s certainly not from looking at the history below taken from out multi list…


 

261 ROUND HILL RD

This property, as everyone knows, is where the owner was assaulted with a baseball bat by her husband. The property was on the market at the time with Coldwell Banker for $8,498,000.

9 FRONTIER RD – COS COB – LIST $1,995,000
WINDOWS WITHOUT SWAGS – AAHHH

SWAGS, BORDERED RUGS AND PATTERNED CHAIRS 🙁

MORE IS NOT MORE

AND MORE OF THE SAME

BORING…

Thankfully, it was not purchased furnished…there should be a business to up-cycle swags. The easiest solution for sellers is to remove them! It doesn’t cost a thing…

128 HAMILTON AVE – LIST $549,000

11 HOLLOW WOOD LANE – $330,000

Teeny tiny on .14 acres in flood zone – but most likely a builder who will re-build to FEMA standards…

Among the properties on the pending list today is 26 Cobb Island Dr, which was only on the market for 65 days – although it had been on for 15 days prior to the current listing at the slightly higher price of $4,195,000 – change of heart? Motivated? Who knows who cares – they got an offer…the sellers bought it in 2011 for $3,850,000 – and with it’s proximity to 95, they are probably relieved…#20 and #27 are also on the market: $2,295,000 and $3,499,000 respectively

This was another standout for the sructure, the drive, the gardens and the wine cellar. The flow was nice, and it certainly didn’t live carvernously for 7,578 SF, although I did not see the carriage house
4 Bedrooms / 5 baths and 5 fireplaces – this glorious property sits privately behind a winding gated drive, with the asking price of $8,750,000. It has a first floor master suite, which seems to be in high demand lately, albeit usually for downsizers…
