A trio of closings to report
/224 Stanwich Road, $4.8 million. I reported on it when it went to contract last February (to not necessarily complimentary reviews from commeters), but the buyers are from NYC 10011 Zip, and anything that’s not in Manhattan is bound to be an improvement.
New construction, its builder began at $5.880 back in October.
74 Benjamin Street, Old Greenwich. Full price: $2.195 million. I wrote it about it when it went to contract March 10, and nothing’s changed since, except that the buyers are revealed to have come up from Florida. Refugees fleeing DeSantis’ war on transgenders? Decent, responsible citizens who want to pay their fair share, and eager to pay a tax on their income? These days, you never know.
257 Sound Beach Avenue, $1.150 million on $1.2 ask. We can let Gidon describe it, even if his definition of “literally seconds” is more expansive than that of us older, less mobile relatives.
First time on the market in 100+ years. Property is LBR-zone (local business retail) so multiple development options for next owner. Existing house has high ceilings and large rooms, very much suitable for renovation/updating. Two separate garage buildings, front access to Sound Beach Ave and rear access to ''CVS parking lot''. In the heart of the village, literally seconds from OG School, stores, restaurants, train.
