Well, that didn't work out as hoped

not even with a borrowed tesla

The listing for 427 Taconic Road, asking $5.5 million, has been canceled after failing for a year to attract a buyer despite, as Gideon points out, the agent’s “clearly compelling remarks — the only phrase missing is ‘owner says sell!’ “

If only the agent hadn’t been so parsimonious with his exclamation points! Would have sold in mere minutes!

427 Taconic is what happens when a Designer & Art Collector puts his stamp on a home. This is not just new construction; this is 2021 elegance in exacting SMART HOME standards. Let's begin on the stately Taconic Road surrounded by majestic pastural horse farms. You will be the first to step into this SMART TECH saltwater pool finished June 2021! Three quarters of the home was finished one day prior to listing it! [It was completed in 2018, so color me confused – Ed]

Initially constructed in 2018 [see? — Ed] using powerhouse standards such as battleship type steel for beams, blown concrete foundations, the latest in insulation techniques in between all floors, completely fueled by propane, resulting in a 6,500 sq ft home that costs pennies to maintain comparatively! Command your multi-tier surveillance system, electronic gates, home lighting, home lighting, home temperature, even your pool temperature & pool cover with your phone!

All this yet the elegance of White Oak flooring & Triple Dipped Canadian Maybacked Shingle designed to last generations! Inside two Miele One Touch Dishwashers, a Wolf Gas Range & properly hidden wine storage.

No detail was overlooked even a whole house water bubbler filtration system so you will bathe & drink the highest quality water. Get your offers in as this new home won't last!!!

Our report on this house when it sold new in 2019 for $2.8 million elicited some less than positive commentary (snicker) but we have so many naysayers on this blog that positive, helpful comments are often drowned out. Sad.
