Sale on Porchuck Road

74 Porchuck Road has sold for $2.1 million. It came up for sale asking $2.2 million and had a contract in 38 days, so not bad. Just 1.19 acres in the 4-acre zone, but as anyone from Riverside or Old Greenwich will attest, a full acre of privacy is an enviable luxury in itself. Not everyone needs three extra acres of deer tick woods surrounding them.

Built in 1885, the list of improvements made by the owners during their tenure is impressive, and no doubt gave the buyers reassurance that they weren’t descending into some money pit from Hell. Smart.
