Persistence: “Noun. Firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.”

65 Upper Cross Road was put up for sale for $24.995 million in October 2023, and its MLS listing expired in October 2024. It’s back today at $24.995 million.

Twenty-two acres, 19,950 square feet, which presumably includes the six-car garage and (secluded) guest house. Part of Conyers Farm, although that hasn’t been a selling point for quite a few years due, I believe, to market demand shifting closer to town.

From its listing:
