Two contracts in Old Stone Bridge

92 N. Old Stone Bridge

92 N. Old Stone Bridge, $1.325 million, and 51 Old Stone Bridge , $1.695 million. Both prices are in the range these houses have been selling for — the variance usually attributable to the quality of finish and date of upgrades, if any. If you check the interior shots of both houses here, you’ll see the difference.

The Chimblo Brothers held this entire property in inventory for a long time before developing it in 1978. The houses were constructed by different builders, so the quality depended in part on which builder worked on which house, but I don’t think there was a bad one out there.

Long time residents may remember when this was still raw land, when the Chimblos let local Boy Scout troops camp on it. Back in the mid-60s, when kids were still willing to join the Scouts and also willing to hike, my own Troop 2 from Riverside would march up there, with fully-loaded packs, from St. Paul’s Church and spend weekends practicing camping skills (as I recall, our parents would drive us home on Sunday, so we weren’t that tough).

The land itself comprises a lot of rock and ledges, so the yards are more rustic than manicured, but pretty nonetheless.
