Old Greenwich

9 Mortimer Drive, $2.345 million, pending after 16 DOM. There’s no garage, but one mustn’t expect too much when buying from the bottom of the price barrel. Besides, Biden will soon ban cars anyway.

One cautionary note, maybe: the owners paid $1.595 million for this house in 2016 and obviously put some real money into renovations. Its Elevation Certificate shows it to be in the AE 13’ zone, which, as I understand it, would require the house to be raised above 13 feet if the cumulative cost of renovations over the years exceeds 50% of the structure’s (not including the land) appraised value. That, according to the town is $567,900 in this instance. Unless that rule has been relaxed, and it certainly could have been since I last represented a home buyer in an AE zone, the house must have been maxed out by now. Good luck replacing the kitchen and baths or, heaven forfend, adding on.
