Worth noting: The buyer, controlled by former NHL player and Canadian businessman Patrick Dovigi, sold a residence it owned on 288 Willoughby Way — the same road where the $72.5 million home is located — for $31 million on May 5, after acquiring it for $29.659 million in December. Last week’s sale was the highest price ever paid for a residential property in Pitkin County.
