Cos Cob contract

35 Mianus View Terrace, $1.335 million. The bedrooms are small, which is typical for an 1886 house, but overall, the house is very pleasing, to my eye. There are many houses out there at this price that are not nearly so appealing.

The listing mentions that the house was built by “the renowned artist, Leonard Ochtman”, which left this philistine clueless, so I looked him up. Turns out he was part of the Cos Cob Art Colony, which is pretty neat.

Love the house, but I’m not sure I’d want to pay the bill when the time for re-roofing comes around.
