Ain't Happening

642 lake Avenue, still licking its wounds at being rejected for the past three years at $4.995, is back on the market with a new agent and a new price, $3.650 million. The house remains what it was: an undistinguished 1972 contemporary on a bland, 2-acre lot.

The town has generously appraised this place at $2.758; I’d give it land value only, and that’s going to be less than our optimistic tax collector is calculating.
