Stanwich sale

399 Stanwich Road, listed at $3.499 million, has sold to buyers from Rye for $3.1 million. It will win no prizes for esthetics, but there’s a lot of room here, I suppose. Owners tried, unsuccessfully, to unload this in 2004, starting at $3.195 and dropping as low as $2.750. They tried again in 2018 at $2.395 million, failed again, and came back this year; third time proved the charm, and they almost got the $3.195 they were hoping for in 2004.

The listing agent, as is her wont, has pulled the listing’s interior pictures from the Internet. An Instagram video is still up and you can find it (for now) here. Spoiler alert: the interior is as bland and uninspiring as the interior, so in this case, you can judge book by its cover.
