Quirky exterior, but a very cool house

20 W. End Avenue, Old Greenwich, is new to the market today at $4.295 million. That’s a big price tag, but the location: easy, easy walk to the Village, train, and school, and the quality of build make it very special. I loved it when it was newly built in 2014, and it sold relatively quickly — 156 days, for $3.825, and I don’t see why it shouldn’t fetch that sort of number again.

It’s certainly not traditional, but to this jaded eye, that’s a feature, not a bug.

I believe there used to be a path through the spartina to Old Greenwich School (photo, rear) — not sure if it’s still there, but any 8-year-old with a machete could fix that in a jiffy.
