Works for me

New today is Jack Paar’s (ask your grandfather) former house at 9 Chateau Ridge, asking $2.595 million. I haven’t seen it since it was sold by the Paar estate for $2.225 back in 2007, when it understandably looked a bit worn; the house may have been built in 1984, but Paar showed up on earth in 1918, and even before his death in ‘04 was showing his age. The new owner seems to have done a great job bringing it back.

Chateau Ridge is a bit off the beaten path, but not too much so: up Round Hill Road just past the Merritt, hang a left on Porchuck, and the street’s on your left just a little way in.

Four bedrooms, nice land, privacy. Obviously not for everyone, but I like it.
