Contract on the peninsula (Updated)

459 Field Point Road, of the Belle Haven peninsula but not in it, has been on the market for 33 days @ $5.1 million, and reports a contract today. Nice house.

UPDATE: My friend Suzy Armstrong, who represents the buyer here, reminded me that this was the house the late David Ogilvy bought, renovated and lived in after he remarried. I visited there a number of times, and Suzy’s right: it’s a beautiful house, superbly redone, as you’d expect from anything David set his hand to.
