I'm happy it finally sold and hopefully we'll have a new neighbor to welcome to Cranbury.


Perhaps the realtor bought it as a spec home to just rent until the market improved or to flip. But in any event, a sale is a sale and the free market rules in the end.

If that's true it's certainly not good news for comps in the area

But would you pay over $900,000 for it?

I thinkit looks nice too, but it is substantially over-priced.

Personally, I don't like paint over brick. Why put artificial stuff over the beauty of nature?

That said, even most of the houses that truly are right on the lake (on Evans) have sold for less than this. In fact, I don't think any house on the lake has sold this high. A couple might if they sold now, but those are the ones that were gutted or leveled and totally re-done as newer houses.

I just realized that this is one house away from the lake. I guess the price is a little high. Ignore my previous comment.

I have never been in, but always wanted to go inside. I love the front door on the home.

I've never been inside, but I've always admired this house. It is one of the best looking houses on Main St.

(Above poster - yes, there is remnants of white paint over the brick. I think it adds a very nice look to the house)
