The third home in this week’s roundup of the most expensive home sales in Massachusetts started out as a “fishing camp” where local men gathered to fish and drink beer. According to the listing brokerage, Tea Lane Associates, its owner in the 1950s suddenly found himself hard up for cash during a sudden recession and convinced his famed actress neighbor to buy it for “a very good price” by painting its weathered cedar shingles bright blue. From then on, locals knew it as “The Swindle.”
