Wilted on the vine

11 Vineyard Lane has sold, finally, for $9.8 million. The sellers paid $9 million for it in 2008 and in between rentals, have been trying to unload since 2011, when they began at $9.950 and eventually dropped to $7.995 in 2022. They pulled it off the market that year, tarted it up even more than the poor old house had suffered before (Video here), and tried again in 2023 at $9.995. And now it’s sold; if they new owners can strip away the lipstick, they’ll find a fine old house beneath.
