I always admire an aggressive price cut

10 Andrews Road (off lower North Street) dropped its price today in one fell swoop from $5.975 million to $4.875. That may not be enough to move it: who knows?, but it’s significant enough to catch buyers’ attention, or it should be.

Sold new in 2008, just as the market was collapsing, for $4.850, the house was resold to the present owners in 2011 at $3.945. They’ve made some major improvements since their purchase, but their original pricing last February at $5.975 proved aspirational, rather than realistic.

Not an architectural style to my taste, and the pond it backs up to can be a turn-off to parents with young children, but Andrews is certainly a convenient location and, judging from the interior photos, there is some serious, very expensive millwork in this house. If you don’t mind driving up to a barn when returning from work, a nice house will await you.

Who new there was such a thing as a zebra cabinet?

Or for that matter, zebra chairs?
