3 New Canaan Closings 3 Different Scenarios

On Monday these 3 properties closed but each one had quite a different story.

49 North Wilton Rd was originally listed in 2009 for $5,900,000 but it fell victim to the harsh realities of the real estate market particularly for high end homes.  It closed at $3,750,000 and the buyer got a great deal for this property on 6 acres, 11000 sq ft main house, separate pool house and gorgeous swimming pool.

64 Butler Lane, located in the South of the Y neighborhood, was listed for $1,795,000 and sold in one week for over asking price at $1,820,000 with multiple bids. This traditional Colonial on 1 acre was in great condition and obviously benefited from it's much sought after location.

1 Mead St, a pristine condo located in Mead Commons was purchased for $1,000,000.  It has 3 floors, 2 car garage and an elevator.  The buyer got a great price considering that these condos sold in 2004 for $1,375,000.
