In November 2012, I posted this 3+1 bedroom, 5 bathroom semi on a 20.6 x 165 foot lot.

It was a nice house, but there was a lot of stuff inside.  Lots of magazines, lots of blankets, lots of figurines, lots of plants....and a lot of straw!

But otherwise, with some paint, perhaps an updated kitchen and the dining room moved where the living room is, a family room could be created at the back and this house could be great.

It was listed at $2,195,000.  I thought $2,050,000 made more sense.  It sold for $2,100,000.

A year and a half later, this house was back on the market.

They painted, the knocked down the kitchen wall and updated it, they cleared out the clutter....and that's about it.

The bathrooms that look like they are probably 20+ years old weren't touched.

And they made the kitchen so freaking big that there was no room left for a family room!

But that didn't stop this house from selling way over the $2,495,000 asking price!!!

This house was listed for a week.

It sold...

For $####,###.

I'm pretty sure that is NOT a $550,000 kitchen, or even HALF that.... 

So nice work to the flipper!
