It took 188 days to take a price cut, but that did the trick

549 Rogues Hill Road, now priced at $3.999 million, is reported pending. I commented on the “price improvement” back in September, and obviously, someone noticed the change, if not this blog.

7. 42 acres; enough land, the listing claims, to build a 20,174 sq. ft. home, which ought to be large enough to accommodate even the largest ego. The 1775 house that once stood here is no longer.

These owners paid $4.5 for the property in 2009 on an Ogilvy price of $5.250 million, and it probably seemed like a bargain at the time. It wasn’t.

But very nice land, and it will make an attractive parcel to build on.

Gone and forgotten

(Update: Nice obituary of the (late, obviously) owner, Francis K. Brooks, who died at age 90 in 2009. An interesting, accomplished woman).
