Hi.

Welcome to the MASH where we gossip about current real estate listings.

Enjoy!

90 Chestnut Park Road - ROSEDALE

90 Chestnut Park Road - ROSEDALE

This is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom semi on a 55 x 67 foot corner lot.

Clearly there is no backyard, only a front and side yard but there is parking and a garage.

The kitchen isn't huge which could be a problem if you are a family but the house itself is big.  There are lots of big bedrooms and the master has a walk through closet.  Too bad the bathroom looks dated.

Actually, even though the house is really nice, it looks like not a lot has changed with the whole place for a while.  From this link, you can see that not much has changed since 2007 when it was listed at $1,629,000.

I am not sure how much it sold for then but it was listed again in 2010.  Not sure what it sold for but it sat for a while until the price was eventually dropped to $1,995,000.

So, is the same house with no changes (except for that patio and fence which I feel was done after the 2007 listing) worth 10% more only 2 years later?  

I don't think so.

It just means the kitchen is 2 years older and there really isn't a lot of storage there.

The semi across the street at 155 Roxborough sold for $1,975,000 in April.  They are basically the same house though I like this one more and it is a little bigger.  Thing is, the house across the street had a bigger basement, a bigger kitchen, and though it was full of pea gravel, it had a bigger yard.

Is this a family house?  With no yard and a small kitchen?  Maybe but that could get annoying after a while.

It could be a great empty nester house though with the odd grand kid and friend visit!

I think this house will sell for $2,050,000. 

And it went for....
