I'll confess, I never noticed this house was here

Bank-owned 3 Finney Knoll Lane, Riverside, is for sale and asking $725,000.

Most of the old Finny estate was developed in 2005-2006, and I suppose my attention was always drawn to the new houses that were built and sold there, and I never saw this old relic between nos. 1 and 5. It’s apparently a failed re-do of an 1840 structure.

I’m not sure what’s happening to prices here, because they’d been selling in the low $2s, but No.1, which sold new for $2,013,364 in 2006, was resold in 2012 for $1.665, and sold again for $1.5 in 2018. So who knows?

Interesting listing verbiage:
