"Surely it was the deathless prose that sold it," one commenter couldn't help but offer?referring to the superlative-laden brokerbabble compliments of Brown Harris Stevens' Martha Gundersen and, you guessed it, Corcoran's Gary DePersia?when we mentiond that the Edgefield Estate moved into contract in February.
So what was the final purchase price for the south-of-the-highway spread that "exemplifies design that is beyond art and science" (we don't know either)? $18.5M.
