Hmm - apparently not every buyer in the market is looking for newer construction in move-in condition

Which would be great, if true. 19 Meadow Lane (parallel to Zaccheus Mead), a 1921 house in need of some serious updates, listed at $3.450 million and has gone to contract after just 11 days. Given the time lag between accepted offer, inspections, and contract negotiations between the lawyers, that probably means it found a buyer in the first or second day on the market.

It may be a land sale, but I hope not; part of Greenwich’s charm is its inventory of gracious old homes, and this is one of them. It’d be nice if someone who appreciates houses like this has appeared.
