259 Old Forest Hill Road - FOREST HILL NORTH

According to the listing, this house has been undergoing renovations for the last 10 years.

It looks like they added a third floor which in the picture above makes it look really weird.  But in the streetview shot....

It looks okay.

Actually, it looks really nice and I really like the landscaping.

Inside, this house is currently set up as a 3 bedroom with 2 bedrooms on the second floor and a master suite on the third floor.  But if you needed to, one of the rooms on the second floor could be split into two.  That would make one of the rooms extra large though with 2 small rooms.

But the work they have done is really nice.  I would prefer a new kitchen floor but I really like everything else.  The dining room isn't huge but a round table would allow for more seating.

All the furniture seems so thought out that it almost looks staged.  But there is no way a stager just happened to have a semi circle couch to fit that family room perfectly.

The lot is only 93.5 feet deep so it isn't big but it is 50 feet wide.  They even able to get a little pool and a hot tub in there.  Looks looks like someone's leg photo bombed the pictures!

This house is listed at $1,695,000.

I never found out what the house a few streets over at 45 Old Park Road sold for.  It was newer, probably about the same size and had more bedrooms.

It was listed at $1,499,000.  My guess is that it didn't sell above the $1.6s (but close to it) so I would be surprised if this place were to go over $1.6s either.

I think closer to $1,579,000 would make more sense.

That third floor master is pretty great though.  But at only 3 bedrooms, the current price is too high.

(thanks JF for sending this in!)
