A tipi might have been a better buy

881 King Street, described in its listing as an "antique" 1952, 925 sq.ft. home and listed for $529,000, has gone to contract after just 77 days. Everyone has to start somewhere for their starter home, I suppose, but this 2 bedroom, 1 bath structure is a pretty depressing place to begin. 

Mind you, if the buyers are handy, they can probably do wonders with the place: nowhere to go but up, and I very well remember Pal Nancy and I doing exactly that with our first two homes. I guess I'm just a bit shocked at how little a half-million dollars goes in Greenwich, even on the Port Chester border. 

The listing describes this as a "retro-bathroom". I'm tempted to call it obsolete

That same listing claims that this is a "just renovated" kitchen. Maybe the wall vent is new?
