65 Patterson Avenue
This is a nifty old (1900) house right between Brunswick and Greenwich Academy that has been for sale for long time and has finally gone to contract. It started at $3.595 million and only dropped to $2.7 million as the seasons passed (even if its picture failed to reflect it) and those students graduated, grew up and had families. Perhaps one of them has fond memories of passing this home and has returned to town to raise her own family there.
The assessment is $2,000,000. The owner sits on the tax appeals board, so I wonder if he’ll argue that he’s been under-taxed all this time? Probably not.

The Assessor shows William Reardon. The guy on the Board of Assessment Appeals is Jeffrey Reardon. Same family?

Same guy: William Jeffrey. Not related to Hank Rearden, nor John Galt.

Any thoughts/guess on what this house sold for? I say $2.25. I agree, the house is nifty.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a number in the $2.4 range. Depending on how you feel about Brunswick/GA’s nearness, this could be a killer location. And it is indeed a very nice house with a good yard.

Whether accurate or not, Zillow lists the previous sale: Sold (12/08/2005): $1,175,000
That seems awfully low to me. Did this owner do a TON of work that he started listing at $3.5? I think in the mid $2’s is a very fair price. 1900 built homes are solid as a rock. The GA/WCK factor would not dissuade me but I know others who would balk.

MLS records show it selling for that amount in 1994. Depending on who is right, it would make a difference.

The Reardons have lived there since the 90’s.
