Round Hill contract

88 Round Hill (Edson Road), asking $1.695 million. It’s gone quickly, which I can understand; if I were downsizing, this 3-bedroom, 1964 contemporary looks like a fun project to work on. No lawn to worry about maintaining, either, which can be a real plus for the right couple.

It’ s just one acre in the 2-acre zone, so FAR is limited to 4,300 square feet, but again, I’d work with the existing house, if I could. The owner/agent claims it’s just “two minutes from town” and he should know, I guess, but he must drive a Ferrari, with a radar detector. Even for more cautious drivers, though, it’s not too far out.
