Behind the Hedges

We just don’t get it. What is the matter with this property that it’s been on the market so long, with so many price cuts, and no one wants it? It was originally listed in November 2013 asking $10.5 million. Now it’s five years later and the ask is $5.25 million, half what it was…

There are just so many great features, we’re not sure we can list them all. But never backing down from a challenge, we will try.

This listing has got to be at land value now. It’s repped by Simon Harrison of the eponymous brokerage, and he told us, “Privacy isn’t guaranteed with 2.5 acres because sometimes these are “wood lots” or “bowling alley lots.” This one is square.” So plenty of privacy, plus tennis, plus pool. Plus existing house! The…
