Weston midcentury modern with sunken dining room sinks price $50K

The 5,716-square-foot midcentury modern at 165 Conant Road in Weston hit the market in early June through William Raveis' John Tse and Bill Janovitz for a cool $1,649,000—a relative steal for the tony Boston suburb.

Now, the 4-BR, 3.5-BA with a finished lower level and lush yardage is even more of a bargain: The price has come down $50,000 to $1,599,000.

The house dates from 1952, and has touches that certainly accentuate that era. There is a sunken dining room, for instance, and a general openness born from some seriously clean geometry. Check out the airiness around said sunken dining room, for instance.
