Though it doesn't really look like it, this is a 16,000 house on a 144.1 x 173.88 foot lot.

It is 7 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms and it is apparently an old Eaton estate built in 1939 (really!?!) by Henry J. Burden, a grandson of department store founder, Timothy Eaton.

So, I don't know if Burden built this for himself or a cousin or whatever but I still can't really believe this was done in 1939!

Obviously there have been a lot of updates but my guess is that stair case with marble steps and brass railing are originals.  Or at least close to what the original was.

Whenever I see a curved staircase like this, or the house at 15 Ridgewood Drive (speaking of which, that house is due for another price drop), I always think of Kelly Wearstler's front hall...

And am I crazy to feel like she got her inspiration here from Eddie van Halen?

This house is a little more traditional.

And beige-y with a weird mix of styles like this chair...

 And this chair...

 These curtains...

And what is up with the Jiffy Pop lamp shades?

But I love it!!!

Not sure I love the kitchen and some of the bathrooms but with the right furniture, this place could be great!

And for $8,398,000, it should be!

But it won't sell that high even though it is great.  

Maybe low $6s....

Then again, the house at 114 Dunvegan Road sold for $10,700,000.  But it was done top to bottom.

I am going to stick with low 6s...maybe a bit higher.
