Land sale contract on Dairy

At least I assume it’s a land sale, and not a residential one — it’s listed both ways. 22 Dairy Road, asking $3.195, is under contract after 16 days.

The listing describes Dairy as “one of the most coveted streets in Greenwich”, but since listing agents award every street they’re peddling a house on with that same title, you’ll be forgiven if you ignore this bit of hyperbole (although admittedly, not all coveted streets have a lovely, pale blue water tank looming overhead).

There’s also this: “Custom build or update/expand the existing stone home.” And there’s nothing wrong with the, either — just don’t walk around back.

I wonder if the people buying these lots realize that it will take 2-3 years to build their suburban retreat? That’s a long time to be stuck in their present co-op, assuming they intend to stay in the city until moving-in day.
