Riverside sale

20 Lockwood Road, $1.950 million, 55 days on the market. These sellers paid $1.858 for it in 2013, installed central air and some other features, but it remains essentially unchanged. After commissions and taxes, I suppose they didn’t make out like bandits, but if you add in rental value, I think they did well.

It’s a lovely 1858 farm house, occupied until 2013 by a family as nice as the house itself, and we were sorry to see them go (to Maine, I believe). I hope the new owners will find as much pleasure here as our friends did.
