After death, life

A couple named Jeffrey and Kate Lazarus are building a spec house at 21 Innis Lane, Old Greenwich, and have priced it at $4.199 million. This past May they paid $1.695 million for the 1967, 1,915 sq.ft. slab-built house on the property, razed it, and are replacing it with a 4,000 sq.ft. one. Innis Lane used to be a little dead end with (very) modest homes, but so were a lot of Old Greenwich streets.

I do wonder at the decision to include six bedrooms in the planned building; how many Greenwich yuppies are procreating like old fashioned Irish families these days? Not many.

And I don’t like the one-car garage with no place to park a second except on the street. Wait til the new owners, doubtless from New York, move in and discover that there’s no room to lock away their six kids’ bicycles or the Merceds G Class station car? The Stamford housing project juveniles must already be donning their masks in anticipation.
