AND IT WENT FOR - 154 Forest Hill Road - FOREST HILL

At the beginning of February, I posted this 4+1 bedroom, 6 bathroom house on a 50 x 170 foot lot at 154 Forest Hill Road in Forest Hill.

From how the listing info was written...

'Its Owner-Designed By Richard Wengle'

I thought this was the house of architect Richard Wengle.  But as a reader pointed out...

'Built By G.E.S For Its Owner-Designed By Richard Wengle'

It was built for the owner by G.E.S. and it was designed by Richard Wengle.

So....not his house.

And not a very colourful house though large.

The asking price was $5,949,000.  

Considering that the house at 190 Forest Hill Road...

Sold for $5,268,000 in 2013...

I thought there was no reason this house wouldn't sell for its asking.  Except that it was only 4 bedrooms.  That was going to make it tough.

Well, it took 62 days, but this house finally sold for asking...

 $5,949,000.

Wonder if the new owners will add a bit more colour to the interior.
