Well, wasn't that nice of them?
/The owners of 802 Lake Avenue purchased it from its builder for $5.7 million in March 2023, did quite a bit of finishing work*, and then put it back up for sale in October for $6.395. A nice couple from Scarsdale came to see it and they must have had quite a heart-warming story to tell, because yesterday the owners sold the house to them for the same $5.7 they’d paid.
So nice when that happens, and so rarely seen.
