So, not such a great purchase, it turned out

Riki Beth Lane

7 Riki Beth Lane, Hillcrest Park in Old Greenwich, has sold for $1.983 million. The sellers paid $2.475 for it in 2012, put more money into renovations, and put it back up for sale last April at $2.850. I've written (favorably) about the property several times, including, most recently, when it went to contract last month. I like it very much, but it's quirky, and that always shrinks the pool of available buyers. I'm hopeful the new owners will find that the price they've paid turns out to be a better value for them than it was for the sellers. I think it will: certainly they'll find that they're living in a great neighborhood, in a very nice house, and that's worth something in itself.
