I wasn’t impressed when this house took its first price cut, and my opinion hasn’t changed now.
/36 Shore Road, Old Greenwich, has cut its price to $4.2 million. I laughed at that initial price of $6.5, as follows:
36 Shore Road, from $6.5 million to $6.2. The family that owned this house previously was one of our family’s closest friends, and without in any way meaning to denigrate the house, I’ll gently suggest that the quality of that family far exceeded the workmanship of the house itself.
They sold it to these owners for $2.9 million (and put the proceeds into building a fabulous new house on coastal Maine), and so far as I can see, nothing’s been done to it since except normal maintenance. But 2022 is probably a different market than 2014, so … maybe.
