And another quick sale

16 Center Road, Old Greenwich, $3.699 million, 25 days. In, say, 2005, I wouldn’t have described Center Road as a neighborhood of expensive homes, but this must have set some kind of record when it sold new in 2011 for $3 million, and now the COVID panic has enabled the owners to break another pattern, selling for a huge premium over what they’d paid for new construction.

The builder makes a solid house of good quality, but his taste and mine differ.

At this price, I’d expect a masonry chimney, but I’m old fashioned and obviously too demanding.
