SOLD - 40 Marchmount Road - DAVENPORT (CLICK PHOTO TO READ MORE!)
This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom semi on a 16 x 76.75 foot lot at 40 Marchmount Road in just south of Hillcrest Park in Davenport.
It's a solid looking house and I like the wood detail, but I feel like painting the wood detail around the second floor window and above would make it less cottagey feeling.
But clearly they are into wood because when you go inside, there is no ceiling and all the wood floor joists have been left exposed.
It reminds be a bit of the house that looked semi undone at 24 Henderson Avenue in Little Italy.
I kind of like it here, but find that it makes the first floor feel really dark. And the light coming from the second floor through the stairs makes it feel like a strange portal.
As for the stairs, like the house that I posted yesterday at 89 Pears Avenue, I can't decide if I like that railing choice or not.
The second floor has 2 amazing skylights which is kind of jarring after your eyes get used to the dark on the first floor, but the bedrooms are a good size.
Except there aren't really 3 bedrooms as one was split to create a laundry room. But if you need a 3rd bedroom, the laundry can be moved to the basement unit.
Unfortunately, there is no parking and the backyard is kind of tiny.
But it's a good house. And for a few thousand dollars, you can put drywall back onto that first floor ceiling.
This house was listed at $795,000.
After 13 days on the market, it sold...
For $800,000.
