9 Mountain Wood Road, priced at $3.5 million, reports a contract after 9 days. It will be interesting to see what it’s final price will be, and what happens to the house itself. The listing’s description doesn’t seem to hold much hope for the building escaping the dumpster, but you never know; certainly, prospective buyers were given fair warning:

“The interior is a vision from the past, awaiting a discerning buyer or builder's inspiration.” **BRING ALL OFFERS** This is an estate, property being sold as-is where is and no property condition disclosures are provided. Seller makes no representations about the condition or legality of structures or improvements on the property. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence.

“A vision from the past” is a wonderfully creative phrase for an obsolete house — I shall put it on the vocabulary shelf, right next to “deferred condition”, and use both to describe the next derelict (house) I list. ell done, sir.
