Valleywood Contract

41 Valleywood Road, Cos Cob, asking $1.795 million. It sold new in 2008 for $1.750, but these owners did better, paying just $1.535 two years later in 2010. Steve Archino represented them on the buy, and now the sale, so make sure he doesn’t stick you with the lunch tab.

There’s not much of a yard and just a one-car garage, but since when do New Yorkers care about such things? (But wait’ll they discover that the closest subway offers sandwiches, not rides.)

Valleywood’s a surprisingly popular street, given its pass-through traffic, but I’ve always liked it despite that, and judging from its history of quick sales, in good markets and bad, others do, too.
