This house was last listed in January 2010 for $2,950,000.

It has been gutted and flipped and is now for sale....

For $6,250,000!!!

More than twice the asking from 3 years ago!

It is 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms and it sits on a 49.18 x 184.14 foot lot.  

I could be confused with another house on this street but I am pretty sure that I remember when this was listed.  And it wasn't that bad of a house.  It was dark and there was a lot of green inside but  just a few changes and some paint would have made it a good house.

But all that is gone and it is almost a new build inside, except it is a rebuild.

And though it seems like a flip, perhaps people have been living here...

Because I am pretty sure this is a dog....

But it could be a pillow...

Or the dog comes with the staging furniture!

I don't love what is going on with the garages and that deck with the posts below.  I feel a wider staircase leading to the front door might have balanced out the house because right now, the focus is on the garages.

But to have 2 garages in Rosedale is pretty good.

I like the kitchen.  The wood island  and wood built-in gives it less of a new build feel.  I just can't figure out where the dishwasher is.

Basically all the finishes are done really well in this house, it works for a family...

And it has 2 laundry rooms, both of which are nicer than most people's kitchens!

The price just seems kind of high....like Forest Hill high though I like this more than most of those Forest Hill new builds.  I guess they are putting themselves up against 55 Glen Road around the corner that is 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.  That house is a lot more traditional but is listed at $7,900,000 (and has been listed for a while).

 Even though this house is kind of close to Mt. Pleasant, the street is fairly quiet, and if this were my kind of budget for a house, this one would be my choice.

But considering that it is priced MORE than the 7 bedroom, 7 bathroom house at 18 Chestnut Park Road that sold for 98% of its $5,995,000 list price that had been dropped from $6,495,000...

This might be on the market for a while.
