Someone did well here

But it was the buyer of 7 Stanwich Road who benefitted, not the sellers, who yesterday sold for $1.550 million that which they paid $1.8 for in 2006. Back then, the house had a lot of charm but was badly dated. These owners brought it back to life, replacing the slate roof, adding central air, upgrading the electrics, redoing the kitchen and baths, and even adding on a bit. Expensive work, and it all accrued to these buyers. I’m sorry that the owners’ labor of love was lost, but at least someone will appreciate all the work that was done.
