I don't usually follow condo sales on this blog, but the revival of W. Lyon Farm is interesting to watch (Updated)

“just seconds from the 2-car garage to the front door”

306 W Lyon Farm was listed on November 30 at $1.245, went to contract in 5 days, and closed yesterday at $1,272,500. That’s not a huge premium over ask, but not very long ago unrenovated units here were a drag on the market, lingering for months before finally selling in the $700-$900,000 range; now they’re selling as quickly as they come up for sale, and at impressive prices. Residents fleeing to Florida who still wish to keep a footprint in Greenwich? Downsizers cashing in on sales of their larger homes in other areas of town? I don’t know — I should ask Sally Maloney, who lives here and sells a lot of them.

By the way, one historical curiosity about Lyons Farm is that it was either the first condominium project in town back in 1975-’76, or one of the very earliest, and the P&Z didn’t know quite how to handle the new concept. So for reasons best known, and only known to our building tsars, they demanded that the developer build detached garages; they’re separated by about 18” from their unit, so the total footprint size is unaffected, but owners must leave their home and use an exterior door to access them. Go figure.

UPDATE: Speaking of Sally Maloney, I see that she, too, had a listing that sold yesterday, 214 W Lyon, $1.695 million; updated more recently than 306, in 2013.
