It may not be the ugliest building in Greenwich, but it's certainly the ugliest residential one. Now, 19 years after starting, and two years after being reported pending, it has sold.

229 Stanwich Road, a “house” cleverly disguised to look like an industrial meat packing facility or a school for the criminally insane, was originally put up for sale in July 2006 and priced at $6.985 million ($10,833,000 in current dollars). To no one’s astonishment except, perhaps, its owners, it failed to find a buyer, and it lingered on the market until January 2023, when a client of Brother Gideon’s committed to buying it (or was committed there — Gideon’s vague on the point). There has been a two-year hiatus between the initial execution of the purchase contract and the actual sale, possibly due to sanity hearings, but the deal finally closed yesterday for $4.995 million ($3,221,000, 2006 dollars).

Gosh.
