The pictures are gone from the internet, so it's impossible to say whether it was the "babbling brook" or the amusing terraces that did the trick, but this house has sold

5 Andrews Road, $3.675: “The home you have been waiting for! A Greenwich classic on 1 acre with pool, expansive lawns, babbling brook and entertaining terraces in North St school district”

At least since the Indians’ real estate agent unloaded Tod’s Point on the Feaks in 1640, no brook has ever been described in its listing as anything but “babbling”; “entertaining” stonework, I confess, is a new one on me.
