Will a new name save this house?

The better to eat you with!

961 North Street has failed to sell every time it’s been listed for sale, beginning in 2002 at $7.995 million and ending in 2006 at $6.995. Now, after a six-year layoff, it’s back again with an all-time low price of $5.695 and has been christened “Deertick Manor” (or something like that). The new listing boasts that it “abuts Conyers Farm” but unlike hand grenades, close doesn’t count. Besides, no mention is made of anything having been done to this place in the past decade so, other than being older, what’s to like about a house this far north in the hinterlands? It’s got a Westchester appearance though, so maybe it will find a buyer from across the border.

    What do you mean ‘westchester appearance’.

    Ps: this house is neighbors with Peter and Stephanie.

    Last time you posted a photo like that didn’t you end up with a letter from someone’s attorney?

    The photo “gallery” on the listing only has one photo. That makes me suspicious.

  4. No, that’s because the new listing hasn’t posted new pictures yet and I used one from the expired listing. Give it a few hours and there should be pictures available on the broker’s listing.

    Shouldn’t the price have gone up when they painted over the mural in the foyer?

    Well, it’s not exactly next to the Brants; they reside on Taconic. North St is where the foundation is located.

    I like the little recess in the back wall — a perfect place to put your Bathtub Madonna.
