230 Bedford Road

I really liked this house, way up near the end of Bedford Road, when it first came on the market in May of 2003. I didn't like its price, $5.9 million and neither did anyone else - it finally sold for $4.0 million a year later. The new owners have "renovated" it (open house is scheduled for next Tuesday, when we'll have a chance to see how encompassing that term is) and have placed it back on the market for $5.5 million. We'll see how that goes but the house does illustrate that wildly overpricing houses was happening in 2003, too.

If you work in Westchester, it's great. Train to NYC from here (well, Armonk, a short drive away) is either faster or the same as from Greenwich. Downside? If you have kids involved in Greenwich activities - school, sports, dance, whatever, you'd better see about hedging oil futures. But these days, you can probably hire an out-of-work oil trader to attend to that when he isn't mowing your lawn.
