South of the Village, a contract

380 Sound Beach Avenue, asking $1.695 million. Seems a tad high for a 1928 house directly in the road, but this side of the Village always does command a premium, and presumably the negotiated price is less than the asked-for, so all is well on the way to the beach.

There owners tried for $2.795 million back in 2008-2010 (with some modest price reductions along the way), but that was not a good time to overprice a house.
