A Hitch Hiker's Dream

Last February, the new owner of 459 Stanwich Road paid $1.375 million, total, for its 2 lots on nine acres; she’s brought them back to the market today priced at $2.425 each.

That might work: as gas rationing hits us this summer, the appeal of being able to just stroll to the Merritt and stick out one’s thumb to catch a ride to Manhattan, 45 minutes away may prove to be a real selling point.
