289 Chaplin Crescent - FOREST HILL

What do you think?  

Do you love it or hate it?

I am not crazy about the garage door but I love a lot of this house.

I like the lights, I love the floors, I am really into the kitchen and that vent hood, and I love the concrete looking fireplace wall.

It has a similar feel to the church conversion at 314 Palmerston Boulevard.

But this house is only 3 bedrooms.

Though it is 6,800 square feet with 5 bathrooms, it sits on a 30 x 159 foot lot that overlooks the Kay Gardiner Beltline Trail, and is basically like a huge treehouse...

I find the asking price really high for a 3 bedroom.

This house is listed for $3,699,000.

If it was 4 bedrooms...maybe.

Not to mention it has been listed since at least July.

Here is a picture of some of the art before they took it away for the photos below...

And yes!  That is a painting of this photo by Christopher Hitchens from the 2008 Vanity Fair article about Eton Gollege in England...

Clearly, lots of space for art....

But just 3 bedrooms?

It's too high.

Perhaps closer to $2,899,000....

maybe $3,100,000.
