BRIAN and MILA MULRONEY LIST THEIR WESTMOUNT HOME
As I was writing up the price drop for the Westmount house in my last post at 25 Av. Forden in Westmount for mishMASH Monday, I got an email from a reader (thanks P!).
It had a Globe and Mail link to another Forden house, but this one was located around the corner at 45 Crois. Forden.
And according to that link, the house belongs to former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and his wife, Mila Mulroney.
According to the Globe and Mail, the Mulroneys bought this house in 1993 for $1,675,000. But according to Huffington Post that posted the house 3 days ago, the couple bought the house for $1,000,000 and put in $700,000 in renovations.
It is currently evaluated at $4,100,000 (probably not too far off).
And not only did the Mulroneys do renovations over the last 20 years, a lot of attention and care was put into this house because this house is....
As in......this house is DONE.
Top to bottom.
As in.....it is REALLLLY decorated.
There are lots of fancy fabrics, and curtains, and lamps, and books, and lot of art like this sweater...
Kind of weird for a gym, no?
This is a 5+2 bedroom and a 5 bathroom house.
It has a pool, a playroom, a gym, a walk-in commercial fridge, and apparently a safe in the basement.
But what does this mean?
'Fireplaces and chimneys are sold without legal warranty with respect to their compliance with applicable regulations and insurance company requirement.'
That doesn't sound good.
This house is listed at $7,950,000.
Which could explain the 25 Av. Forden price drop! Especially considering that this house has more than 3 bathrooms!
But will either sell that high?
Since none of those curtains or chandeliers or sconces are included, and they alone probably cost about $1,000,000...
I would say most likely not.
It will probably won't sell as low as the evaluated price, but I would say that it will sell closer to the evaluated price than the current asking price.
And in case you are wondering why the agent included a listing shot of the front of the house with all the gardener's tools above, there was no shot of the front of the house so that photo came from Google Street View.
