PRICE INCREASE - 173 Lawrence Avenue East - LAWRENCE PARK
At first glance, it was a typical new build with a not great looking stone facade.
But then I noticed that bay window and the tree under that window...
What the.....!?!?!?!
It reminded me of Finnigan's Treehouse from Mr. Dressup...
And the interior photos of the front hall curtain...
Reminded me of The Friendly Giant...
And the fireplace...
It reminded me of The Friendly Giant intro...
Then I saw the kitchen...
And some of the tile choices in the bathrooms like this...
And this...
It was listed at $2,188,000.
The lot was a good size and there were a lot of bedrooms, but with these design choices and the fact that it looks like there is about a foot separating the kitchen island from the rest of the kitchen (among many other issues)...
This was not a $2.2 million house.
It didn't sell and the price was dropped in June 2015 to $2,149,000.
Then it was dropped again in July 2015 to $2,095,000.
Then a week later to $1,995,000...
Which is when I realized that this house also reminded me of the Tiny Tots Family Treehouse...
Well....this house is on the market again (thanks M!).
But it looks like they tried to get rid of the Mr. Dressup/Friendly Giant/Tiny Tots Treehouse vibe and have replaced the fireplace...
And added some funeral flowers and furniture.
But they kept the faux wood look in the backyard and even added this statue...
This house is now listed at...
$2,149,000.
P.S. In case you are curious, this is what the house USED to look like...
