Sale price reported

11 Hendrie Avenue

11 Hendrie Avenue, Riverside, $3.950 million. It sold new for $4.1 million in 2012, and these sellers tried for $4.495 back in January, 2016. That was obviously the wrong price, because it sat for 447 days before finding a buyer.

I've never understood the prices of new construction on Hendrie, notwithstanding the easy walking distance to the Eastern Middle and Riverside Elementary schools, Aida's, and the train. To me, it's a busy street, with those same schools attracting cars and buses (at least) twice a day, and its role as a major cut-through to Old Greenwich generating traffic the rest of the day. But buyers obviously disagree, because houses here do sell for substantial sums.

De gustibus non est disputandum.

THE ZEBRA, OF COURSE

AND THE ORANGE (with a virgin fireplace, it seems)
