New in Cos Cob

49 Indian Mill Road, $4.695 million. Clients of mine came very close to buying this one’s previous iteration back in 2013, after it had been on the market for four years and dropped from $1.795 to $1.250; $1.250 was an excellent price even as a land buy, as the present owner obviously noticed. He’s built new (although it appears that he' kept the foundation) and, though I’m not wildly enthusiastic about the price he’s chosen, it’s a nice location, offering direct access to the Mianus River Park trails. Of curse, that means people on those trails have direct access to you, but my guy was ex-Mossad, and he didn’t see that as a major worry.

It’s got the zebra

and a daring departure from the traditional orange

original

And who can forget that era’s kitchens?
