Sherwood Avenue Contract

17 Sherwood Avenue, listed at $2.8 million on March 4th, has a contract today. Some part of it was built in 1788, though I could find no trace of that heritage back in 2007, when it sold for $3.150, and subsequent remuddlings have buried its history even deeper.

Those 2007 purchasers, by the way, later lost their financial footing, and their lender ended up selling it to these present owners for $1.680 in 2012. They’ve obviously made out well; we’ll hope for a similarly happy ending for these buyers, after the fall.
