In September 2012, I posted this 4+1 bedroom, 3 bathroom row house on a 16.12 x 80 foot lot at 328 Wellesley Street East.

It was a good house, but there was a back door that I didn't get...

I guess it was needed for privacy though as there was no backyard, only a parking spot right off the alley.

And there were only 2 bathrooms.

I thought that for $1,195,000, it wouldn't be my first choice.  It had a price drop in May 2013 to $1,149,000.

Obviously, at some point it sold because it is now full of new furniture...

And for some reason this plaque has been added...

Apparently, this used to be the home of Academy Award winning Walter Huston (who went to Winchester Street Public School)...

He is the father to John Huston...

Grandfather to Anjelica Huston...

And great-grandfather to Jack Huston...

So...

I guess that's important?

To me, what is important are the changes that have been made to the house.

They created a foyer with nice wood doors to match the front door...

But they painted over the wood doors upstairs.  I really liked them the way they were.

Wainscotting has been added throughout.  The kitchen has been completely redone (not sure why) with new french doors (that I don't love but it's better than what was there before).  The open family room on the second floor has become part of a new master suite.

For some reason the basement floor has been changed...

And they added this...

So, now they have a parking spot and a deck.  I don't love it.  At all.

But I suppose the changes on the second floor make sense.

This house is now listed at $1,299,900.

Okay....

I don't think it is sooo far off.

But that back deck thing is going to be a problem.
