Too pricey? I dunno, maybe, but it's in Lucas Point, and I love Lucas Point

18 W. Westway, Old Greenwich, new today at $4.250 million. It comes with its own (high-water) dock, and some very nice, very close neighbors.

I hadn’t realized that the Lucas Point Association’s transfer fee is now 4% — that’d be $170,000, at this price. The money must go towards maintaining the association’s beach, boatyard, and streets, but still, who do these people think they are, Realtors?

CORRECTION! Listing agent Lisa Weiker has written me to point out that I missed the decimal point on that “4” number (in my defense, it’s a really teeny decimal point), and the transfer fee is in fact .4, not 4%, so that would be just $17,000 due on closing. Never mind!
