There might be a deal here

339 Stanwich Road, bank owned, is new to the market today and priced at $1.599 million, “or best offer”. It’s being sold “as is”, which is how banks handle these sales, but unlike many foreclosure situations, the owner, a solid, long-time Greenwich resident who fell on bad times with family illness and business reversals, stayed in here all the five long years of the process and maintained the house well. Often, by the time a bank regains a property there’s nothing to do but call in a dozer; that’s not the case here.

It’s not my style of house, at all, but it did sell for $2.550 million in 2004, and if you can live with its style and are willing to put in a modest amount of money for updating, this could work.
