A surge of market activity

17 Windabout

17 Windabout Drive, new construction priced at $8.1 million, has a contract. 11,672 sq. ft., 2.8 acres purchased for $2.6 million in 2018, it replaces a 1962 Coggins house, which were popular recreations of older Colonials. I liked them, and so did the Greenwich market until about 20 years ago when they fell from favor.

And a slew of pendings:

35 Leeward lane

35 Leeward Lane, Riverside, asking $6.495 million, down from its price a year ago of $7.495, but still a big sale.

176 Shore rd

176 Shore Road, Old Greenwich, $5.895 million. A busy design, but there you have it.

Husted

40 Husted Lane, $3.795. Purchased for $4.425 million in 2014, it couldn’t find a buyer for all of last year at $4.395, but a new price and this new influx of buyers seems to have worked magic.

5 verona

5 Verona Drive, Riverside, $2.650.

9 Chateau Ridge, $2.595 million. Westchester buyer?

laurel Lane

8 Laurel Lane, $2.495. I like this home’s location more than I do Chateau Ridge’s, and also the design. I said as much when it hit the market last month and, obviously, someone else does too.

burying hill

52 Burying Hill Road, $1.650 million, which is less than the $2.4 paid for it in 2004 but that was then, this is now.

28 Welwyn Road, Riverside, $3.995. Started in April 2019 at $4.495.

And the former Fountain family homestead at 24 Gilliam Lane, Riverside, $3.795 million is pending after just 15 days. Not much that’s recognizable in the old place except the original radiators and the living room fireplace mantle, but the real selling point was probably the absence from the premises of the Fountain boys; terrorists all.
