Sale on Parsonage

105 Parsonage Road, $5.2 million. There’s no link because under the new GMLS rules all data is yanked from public view the instant a sale is reported. Whether that’s to protect the privacy of the new owner or just another attempt by my local real estate board to monopolize information, I don’t know; it could be both, but I sus[ect it’s the latter, because the GAR has a long history of hugging all information to its breast. Anyway, I’m posting a few exterior shots from the original listing. It’s not worth expending the space for interior photos because it’s really just your standard, cookie-cutter mid-level spec house, and if you’ve seen one of those, you’ve seen them all.

The land this house sits on was for sale forever, because its 1.2 acres comprise mostly swamp. This builder paid $1.330 for the lot in March 2017, and somehow with the help of what must have been a lot of fill, managed to get a house within the wetland boundaries, and put it up for sale in April 2019 for $6.250. So, four years after starting, he’s rid of it.
