Binney Lane contract

It took a year and two price cuts, but 1 Binney Lane, Old Greenwich, is finally reported as under contract. It’s a land sale, and not at all a bad piece of property. The heirs divided it so that there’s this 0.64-acre lot, and an adjoining 1-acre property that was donated to the Land Trust, or some arrangement that preserves it from development while sparing the new owner of 1 Binney from being taxed on it.

Houlihan has posted a video about it that’s mostly devoted to explaining who the Binneys were, and if you’re not acquainted with their history, it’s a fun 1 1/2 minutes.
