48 Orchard
April contract, just closed for $1, 482,500. The picture’s deceptive – this house was totally redone and expanded in 2007 and it’s a great house. Draw back is its location on busy Orchard Street, but that also places it within walking distance of school, shops and even (long walk, but I watch people do it every day) the train. So I get it. It came on at $1.695 million at the end of March, 2013, and wouldn’t sell, but when it was dropped to $1.495 this past March it went in less than three weeks.
Nice house. Here’s that “Planomatic” thing.
Will be walking distance to the Greenwich Reform Synagogue too no?
This is a lovely home. I wonder who did the renovations – speak up please.
LIFT!!! in garage. Love that. I also love it when there are those planomatics – floor plans are key.
Agree with your assessment. For a young family out of city, who could ask for anything more? Throwback to the 1950s neighborhood too for added playdate and Halloween candy fun.
italian name, local builder, can’t remember at the moment.
it’s been for sale before. glad to see they finally unloaded it.
toonces sorry nevermind, i was thinking of another house. disregard my local italian builder comment.
that’s ok!
This is a fine home, solid interiors. I think the challenge was the lack of comps on this slice of Orchard over 1.4MM.
Am surprised that 6 Ferris Drive hasn’t moved –big house, Dundee district and walking distance to old greenwich station and asking price is a bargain compared to what smaller house around in corner on Richmond got this spring
Ferris isn’t selling because of I95. Priced too high maybe?
Used to live next door and the noise isn’t bad at all , I would much rather live on a low-traffic street with background noise like Ferris than a high-traffic street like Orchard
I think I would prefer a low traffic street too. But if a house hasn’t sold for a long time, the price is too high. JMHO.
sorry – just took a look 6 Ferris – the musical! Video on Zillow. Lovely big house that looks like it has been impeccably maintained. I’d paint all the rooms a neutral color and I bet it would sell quickly.
Agreed. 6 ferris is lovely

In that vintage/style house, is the w/d still in the basement where the mass murderer lurks?
I think the police removed them as evidence, when they retrieved the bodies.
House was way over renovated for this location. Lucky they found a buyer that doesn’t know any better-
Or perhaps, like Havemeyer, the neighborhood is changing. I’d thought that $1.375 might be the end price for this when I saw it last year – the market’s improved since then and I’d never claim to be able to peg a house to the dollar, anyway.
Much Smaller renovated house on 13 Richmond around the corner with tiny yard and one -car garage got 1.6M in April-and is really only a few houses further away from the highway
