Three 2017 listings are now pending
/36 Rockwood Lane, new construction, started in 2017 at $8.250 million, but only had to drop to $5.995 before finding a buyer. As these things go, that’s not too bad. I’m not sure about the exterior design, but at least it’s different, and the interior is quite bright and sunny. Still, it takes a daring builder to erect something like this, and as a buyer I might hesitate before putting six million into a non-Colonial. Out of towners still mistakenly believe Greenwich to be a New England town, and many, even most of them expect to see huge colonials or Georgians, and this is not one of them. But a Californian might be receptive, or a buyer from an even more exotic locale, like Westchester County. And in fact, a buyer has appeared, so good for them, and extra points to the builder for daring to flout convention.
32 Pecksland Road started at $7.2 million in 2017, and has finally found a buyer after dropping to $4.350 in March. We’ll see what the final closing price is — will it start with a three?
Owners paid $5.2 for it in 1997 and then renovated, but tastes have changed.
And 33 Baldwin Farms South, $3.776 million, is also pending. It began its journey at $4.195 in 2017 and obviously stuck pretty close to that price as the years went on and house hunters passed through. I can understand their determination, though: they paid $3.995 for this in 2010, when it was in pretty tired shape, and they must have put a lot of money into bringing it up to date
