Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's pizza oven

New to the Cos Cob market today, 59 Dandy Drive, 1963 construction that was remuddled in 2015, is offered for sale at the perhaps aspirational price of three-point-five million dollars — which would beat the previous high sale in this 60s development by $700,000+.

Hey, in this hot market, who knows? And besides, according to the listing agent, “Rarely does a home in this coveted pocket of Greenwich come to market.” And she continues, waxing lyrical:’

This beautifully expanded six-bedroom residence offers turnkey living on a private one-acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac. A two-story foyer sets the tone, opening to sun-filled living spaces designed for both grand entertaining and everyday ease. The gourmet kitchen, appointed with granite countertops, a professional-grade Wolf range, stainless steel appliances, skylights, and a generous center island, flows effortlessly into the family room at the heart of the home. The serene primary suite is complete with a dressing room, walk-in closet, and spa-inspired bath, while heated towel warmers grace three full bathrooms.

Well! That certainly makes it seem worth every penny that’s being asked, except there’s this list of items that aren’t being conveyed:

Exclusions: Outdoor pizza oven, swing in family room, smoker {would that be Granny, in the swing?] white refrigerator in lower level, dog fence only (not dog door).

It’s certainly understandable that a homeowner would have a deep, abiding affection for his basement refrigerator, and who among us wouldn’t dig up our dog fence and take it with us when we move? An this seller’s graciously willing to leave the dog door and, probably, the dog itself, eh? So quit yur yappin. But the pizza oven? Can’t part with that, even at $3.5 million? That’s true love.
