Hi.

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

Enjoy!

And it went for....

And it went for....

Three days after I posted the amazing house at 9 Millbank Avenue that had sold for $3,700,000 a reader (thanks R!) sent in this listing.

It's another new build in Forest Hill but I do think it is an improvement from what was there before...

It is 5+1 bedrooms, 7 bathrooms on a 65 x 154.5 foot lot at 5 Millbank Avenue.

And it is a lot of house. 

Only problem is the garage.  It is a tandem 2 car garage and it takes up half of the first floor.

And with an asking price of $6,680,000, they could have at l

east used an elevator like the house at 62 Forest Hill Road and used up the basement space instead...

  That work out room that is open to the family room just doesn't make sense...

AT ALL.

But other than that strange 'Portal' (as one reader called it) in the kitchen, the office that I didn't love, and the garage situation, this is a good house.  

Just not a $6.7 million house.

I thought it was WAY too high.

Not to mention that it had been listed since the end of May!!!

Now, 2 weeks after I posted it, this house has sold.  Not at asking but still higher than I thought.

This house just sold for...

$6,175,000!!

Maybe there IS something to that portal theory after all....
