4 Mercia Lane, in Belle Haven but not of it, was placed on the market today for $3.150 million. The same owners tried it at $2.650 back in 2006, without success, but obviously, that was a long time ago.

Remarks: Belle Haven Peninsula-one of Greenwich's most coveted coastal enclaves, where harbor breezes, in-town convenience, and quiet residential character come together in a way few addresses can offer. Privately sited on a tranquil cul-de-sac and close to downtown, this 4-BR, 3.5-BA residence is approx. 4,300 sq ft of graciously scaled living space. Built in 1995 and impeccably maintained, the home opens to a sun-drenched, open-concept kitchen and great room the natural heart of the home, the principal rooms flow effortlessly to a heated pool and beautifully landscaped grounds designed for summer entertaining. The primary suite offers a serene retreat, while the finished third floor and full lower level- easily a 5th BR -invite flexibility for guests, fitness, or quiet work. A rare offering.

Convenient weigh station for those who need something a bit larger than the bathroom digital
