This must have bit

900 Lake Avenue, purchased for $2.8 million in 2017 and returned to the market just two years later at $2.850, has sold for $2.2.

I’ve always liked this house, even though it has no yard, and even though the modern addition to the original 1790 structure is a bit awkward; I could see how it would work. But any purchaser should have been wary of a house that was on the market from 2010 until 2017 before finding a buyer. Yes, the original 2010 price of $4.125 was partly to blame, but seven years of market exposure and no one wanted it? Before paying $2.8, these owners should have asked themselves who was the chump at the poker table and, having failed to find him, passed.
