Someone's getting an excellent house here, cheap

15 Wyckham Hill Lane, ($2.995 million) finally has a contract. This house was custom-built for Scott Frantz;’s parents back in 1996 to the highest standards, and sold in 2000 for $3.3 million. The buyer — this owner, made his own improvements and returned it to the market in 2008 at $5.295. He didn’t get it, so pulled it in 2009 and didn’t relist it until 2014, when he priced it at $4.495. It hasn’t found a buyer in all those years, until now, and i’ve been surprised at the lack of interest by the buying public.

It sits on great land on the north side of Wyckham, far removed from Merritt noise, and abuts the Babcock Property for added privacy and good hiking and X-country skiing on the Babcock trails. The house itself did grow a but tired over the years it’s been on the market but is still in very good shape and should be able to be restored to its original condition quite easily.

It has its peculiarities in layout owing to it being designed for one specific couple to their specific requirements, but nothing that couldn’t be amended at reasonable cost, to my eye.

In any event, a buyer has shown up at last, and at under $3, that’s a good deal.
