On the other hand, although I liked this house, readers (looking at you, EOS, and you, 06830) didn't. And I certainly wouldn't have waited from November until now to take a 3.5% price cut

Heck, I might even have used that time to take an updated, summer photo.
52 Carriglea, cut from $14.250 million to $13.750. The readers weren’t as enthusiastic about this house as I was back in November, and they’ve proved prescient.
I was prepared to say wow, I’ll take it but I’m quite underwhelmed. I don’t care for the architecture style and the interior is definitely still 2005. But the location will surely make this home fly off the shelf.

The questions buyer's agents will be getting are "What's the land worth?" and "how much will it cost to build new?" My question is what sane person would choose this over 88 Cedar Cliff, which is sitting unwanted at the same price but is (despite its flaws) a light-years better house (no way this cost $4m to build in 03/04), in a superior location, with much better views (the photos here are carefully staged to avoid the reality that you are looking into a neighbor's backyard and the RYC parking lot). A mudflat dock is not making up that difference unless you really, really love paddleboarding.
Also - there are yachts at RYC?
6/25/25: 06830, 88 Cedar Cliff Road, which you and I both like, is still on the market after 1,146 days (April 22 2022) and is now asking $13.995; that’ll happen when you start at a preposterous price like $25.5 million.
And yes, there are some very substantial yachts kept at RYC, although many of them are permanently moored atop Hens and Chickens, just outside Cos Cob Harbor.)
