Cos Cob sale

17 Barton Lane has sold for $2.162,500 on an original price of $2.295 million. Barton branches off from Cognewaugh, a street that I wouldn’t consider convenient, but you certainly couldn’t match this house at this price in, say, SoPo Riverside or Old Greenwich. It was renovated in 2021, has a really large — 2.37 acre — yard, and it looks like a very decent house.

Some buyers prefer space and privacy over having a neighbor 30’ away watching what’s being served for breakfast, and that privacy trumps convenience. For them, that is; others may want their kids to be able to walk to school and their friends’ houses, and Greenwich has neighborhoods for them, too.

Choice is a wonderful thing.
