New Cos Cob listing

43 Mianus View Terrace, $1.875 million. North Street and Central schools. There might be room for some negotiating here, because it doesn’t look like there was a million spent on construction, and the existing house was purchased for $817,000 (on a $795 asking price). Then again, builders expect to make a profit, and demand for new homes in this range is high, so you just never know.

Technically a re-do of an existing 1965 home, but there’s not much left of the original; I’d call it new.

Pre-renovation

Fifteen years after whirlpool tubs fell out of favor, builders have finally stopped installing them. Next up: Sub-Zero stoves and refrigerators will be replaced with better brands.
