As (some of the worst) agents like to crow, "this is the one you've been waiting for!"

won’t last long!

Maybe so — certainly, it’s been a long journey to get here. Almost nine years after foreclosure proceedings were begun in 2014, after numerous journeys up and down to superior, appellate and bankruptcy courts (all while there was never a defense against the amount due), 620 North Street has been placed on the market by its new owner, J.P. Morgan and priced at $2.899 million.

I don’t know whether that’s a good price or not: it will depend on how much damage the place suffered during its long litigation battle, and for how many years it’s been empty. The now-former owners paid $2 million for the land and a house in 2007, razed the house and built this one, and tried to sell it in 2008 for $6.398 million, a sales effort that continued ito 2012. I don’t what’s been happening there since.

So if you’ve been pining for a secluded weekend cottage nestled betwixt North Street and the Merritt Parkway, this one is not to be missed! A pleasure to show!
