A bidding war even in Stamford, for heaven's sake

44 Carrington Drive, listed at $899,000, gone to contract in 6 days. Stamford schools and, just as bad, Stamford taxes — $19,100, in this instance — but Carrington has a Greenwich mailing address which, unless things have changed, will get you a beach pass, because the Parks Department merely checks an applicant’s mailing address, rather than conduct a survey of the property itself. that doesn’t work for schools, alas.

Still, who’d expect a bidding war to break out in our eastern neighbor?
