Change of plans? Because as a spec project , this doesn't make much sense.

10 Maple Drive, Old Greenwich, purchased for $999,111 in June 2025, was put back on the market @ $1.2 million earlier this month and is reported as under contract today, 10 days later. The owners didn’t do a whole lot of work on the house, but they did redo kitchen and baths, a little, and performed some painting, but after conveyance taxes and commissions, they’ll be lucky to break even. Unless, of course, the buyers are paying much more than the asking price — not impossible in this market — in which case ….

The house was an estate sale for a Mrs. Eileen Burke, who died last year aged 99, an accomplishment in itself, and the listing last year cautioned that it was being “sold as is, where is”. I get the “as is” — that’s standard for estate sales, where the owner is unavailable to opine on hidden defects and necessary repairs, but “as is”? Did they expect buyers to demand that it be relocated to, say, Maple Avenue? In the event, the disclaimer proved unnecessary, and the house remains where it was.

the driveway remains “as was”
