A Whopper of a Chop for Cambridge's 22 Fayerweather Street

That stretch of West Cambridge's Fayerweather Street between Huron Avenue and Brattle Street 'tis no stranger to big deals. And yet. The deal for the 4,707-square-foot Victorian-era abode at 22 Fayerweather is unique. Why? The 14-room, seven-fireplace house first dropped on the sales market in May 2014 for $3,725,000. The price tag then dropped steadily from there, all the way to $3,275,000. That's where it rested until it traded in a deal that closed earlier this month.
In the end, 22 Fayerweather went for $3,150,000. That's a full $575,000 off the original asking. That's a lot, especially in a Cambridge market that usually trends in the opposite direction—and wildly so.
