Stamford money pit finally sells — I like the house personally, but someone's buying a project

684 Westover Road, a 1920 house on six acres that started off on this selling adventure back in August ‘22 at $3 million, has sold for $2.2. Its listing makes no mention of recent renovations, and there’s probably a reason for that: the lack of photographs of the kitchen and baths hints at the problem, and I’m guessing that there’s a fair amount of deferred maintenance here.

It does look like an attractive house, to me, and the setting is appealing, but Stamford real estate values work against it: a buyer will have to put a (whole lot) of money into this project, with little likelihood of getting it back on resale.
