Quick sale off North
/1 Lita Drive, asking $1.795 million, reports a contract after nine days. Allowing for the usual inspections and lawyer negotiations, it’s reasonable to infer that an accepted offer was hit on either the first or second day.
Lita’s that little dead-end at the foot of North Street. It’s convenient, and has some expensive houses on it, though I personally wouldn’t want to be cheek-by-jowl with North Street, as this one is.
The owners paid $1,328,800 for it in 20016, and I’m including their list of improvements, just to give readers an idea of what can help sell a house (even in non-Covid years, this is a “clean” and thus attractive listing).
