Here's a sale that slipped in under the bell Friday

17 Fado Lane, Cos Cob. Listed at $1.297, the inning buyer bid $1,381,381.00. In the current market, I can understand how this would appeal to buyers: the house itself is in very good, move-in condition, and Fado is nice little dead end at lower Cognewaugh so it’s close to everything. And it’s a nice neighborhood. I don’t know if they still do it, but the homeowners used to close off the street and throw a block party each year, which, given the modern trend for everyone to stay locked into their own insular lives, seems like a good way to meet, and decide whether you like your neighbors.

Is Suzy Armstrong trying to make some of us feel old?

elderly housing?

Her rental at 40 Chapel Lane, Riverside, has rented (at $11,500), and good for her. But how did describe this 1960 house in the listing?“Antique”.

Sheesh, girl, just wait: your day will come.
