New agent, new price, same house. UPDATE: same agents, they just switched lead roles.
/
174 Round Hill Road was listed at $10.million March 4th, dropped to $9.5 April 30, and now that listing agent’s been dumped and the price further reduced by the new one, to $8.5. Nice, custom-built house, good location, but at a mere 9,000 sq. ft., it probably feels just a tad claustrophobic to today’s buyer.
These days, I couldn't guess whether this is going as land or a residence.

35 Welwyn Road, Riverside, listed at $3.495 million, pending after 9 days.
The Marketplace at Work
/
64 Hillside Road was listed at $2.650 million on April 21, price was dropped to $2.4 million a week later, immediately drew bidders, and colsed today at $2.5.
I previously applauded Mark Pruner for his pricing strategy on this property, and now I can do so again
/
Mark Pruner put 38 Byfield Lane on the market June 27th at $3.495 million and rapidly took two price cuts because, in this market, if offers aren’t flooding in instantly, it doesn’t pay to “dither” around. Pruner didn’t, got the price down to $3.295 and it’s now pending.
Nice work, if you can get it

“A $5 million dollar house in Havemeyer, sir, is like a dog walking on its hind legs. It’s not that it’s done well, the surprising thing is that it’s done at all”. Samuel .Johnson
A local builder paid $1.529 million for 20 Old Wagon Road (Havemeyer Park) that was listed in May 2025 for $1.199 million, razed it, built new, and put it back up for sale this June at $3.978 million. Presumably, he priced it to provide a very nice return on his efforts, so he must have been delighted when it sold it to a Larchmont (10538 ZIP) buyer yesterday for $4,802,500.
Some of us wouldn’t have considered Havemeyer Park to be a $5 million dollar neighborhood; some of us were wrong, apparently.
the original model: 1,066 sq. ft.
Two more end-of-day sales: one end-user (presumably), one dumpster diver

stanwich road
151 Stanwich Road, listed at $2.950 million, closed today at $3.8 million. It has the obligatory “babbling brook”, but oddly there’s no mention of the “coveted, gourmet, professional chef’s kitchen” that’s included in every reputable GMLS offering. Listing agent Ellen Mosher is one our top agents, so I’m sure the omission was part of a deliberate strategy and, judging from this sale price, it obviously worked.
And to the east …
Now you see it, soon you won’t. 33 Sound Beach Avenue, listed at $1 million, sold for $1.2.
A busy sales day in Cos Cob
/
27 Cognewaugh Road (which is on the lower, more convenient end) was listed at $3.8 million and has sold to Los Angeles (91423) refugees for $4 million. Got while the going was good.
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.
