Riverside contract

122 Cedar Cliff Road, last asking price $3.995 million. One of brother Gideon’s listings, but, like Gideon, I knew the owners well, and spent months here house sitting during my bachelor days, while the (late) owners toured Europe and other parts of the globe, and many nights playing nickel-ante poker games on its deck overlooking the Cove when our host was home. Truly a spectacular site.

My guess is that the house itself will not survive: though it’s a wonderful home to live in, the price of the land it sits on far exceeds the structure’s value, and that doesn’t bode well for its future. But someone is getting a wonderful place to build new.
