Slumbering in the graveyard, the elephant rolls over, startling all of us — it's still alive!

29 Round Hill Club Road, asking $12.5 million, has sold for $9.3. It last sold for $16.250 million in 2008, was put back up for sale in 2013 for $18 million, and when the owner grew dispirited, he donated the thing to the Boys and Girls Club in 2011, who continued that sales effort until now.

The house, a 1959 so-so, was redesigned/renovated by Doug Vanderhorn in 2007 — good — and “refreshed” some time later by Cindy Rinfret — bad, but her improvements will surely not survive this new owners tenancy so no real harm done.

It will be fun to see what the next sale fetches.
