Contract

4 Cedarwood Drive, 1932 home and priced at $3.795 million, reports a contract, after 78 days. The present owners purchased it for $3.8 in 2004, but, though still retaining much charm and very well maintained over the past 17 years, today’s buyer will probably want to update at least the kitchen and baths, so this price seems to me to be about right.

Cedarwood’s a good street, running between Husted and Parsonage, and close to both central Greenwich and the hospital, where the owner works; in fact, he’s played, and still plays a significant role at that institution, and has consulted on cases involving members of my family over the years; a very calm, soothing, and knowledgable person when those attributes were most needed. I’m hopeful he’s just locating and not retiring, though he’s certainly entitled to and deserves to do the latter, if that’s his wish.
