Grahampton contract and a Stanwich retread

12 Grahampton Lane, a lovely old (1939) house that still retains 2 1/2 of its original property, listed at $6.195 million in June before dropping to $5.495 at the end of August. It reports a contract today.

Not quite as lovely, perhaps, is 229 Stanwich Road, which is back today at $4.995 million. I’ve gone through this house a number of times since it was first listed in 2006 at $6.985, and I could never shake the feeling that I was touring an institution for incorrigible delinquents, but perhaps it just stirs memories of my own youth, and others won’t feel the same way.

In any event, it’s shifted between actively for sale and rented out over the past 16 years; this might finally be its time.
