Cos Cob sale

255 Valley Road, $1.2 million; started at $1.450 last May. Some of it dates to 1848, although that’s no longer obvious, and it was also listed as land. Pretty rough interior, and right on what was doubtless a far quieter road before the (Civil) War, but at this price, so what? Great views, and if you can push through the algae, you and your kayak will have a great paddle up and down Mianus Pond. I’d certainly be glad to live here.

you won’t get this view from an office cubicle

push!
