Coming next week

167 Zaccheus Mead Lane, $10.895 million. It’s a house that’s had trouble meeting its owners’ hopes before; purchased for $5.8 million in 1997, those purchasers sunk some major money into extensive renovations and put it back on the market in 2016 at $10.5 million. After a long, fruitless wait, they sold it to these owners for $5.835 million in 2018, thereby returning to almost exactly where they’d come in 21 years before. Bummer.

No improvements noted on this current listing, but we’re in a different market than the 2008-2020 era, so they’ll probably do better.

(Update) I wrote about this house several times during its long travail on the listing rolls back then, most recently in 2017. A snippet:

167 Zaccheus Mead Lane, originally $10.5 million, has taken another price cut, this time a  $900,000 slash, and is now down to $8.750. I know that this house was profiled before, both here  and in Greenwich Time, but damned if I can find either. In any event, a 1908 house, completely redone, but with an unfortunate addition of some kind of "tea house" that resembles nothing so much as a poorly designed junior high school from the 1960s. 

Tough sell.
