(From the all the wine in his kitchen, I'm guessing that's totally red wine in his cup)

Or at least it's owned by someone who is really into having pictures of him on the wall...

 It is a 3+1 bedroom (sort of), 4 bathroom house on a 44.77 x 110 foot lot at 1 Albemarle Avenue in Riverdale and it was put on the market in June.

It was a good looking house from the outside with a beautiful garden and a rare 44 foot lot.

But it wasn't a huge house for the lot.  And when it was first listed, from the photos that were available, I didn't love it.

The asking price was $2,495,000.

For only 3 bedrooms, I thought this was a little high and that it would sell closer to $2.1...maybe $2.2.

It didn't sell and it was relisted with a new agent in October and there was a video...

It was a good video but it really just made me want to drink red wine.

But it showed more of the house.

Turns out that there were also a lot more photos of the house as well that you can see below...

And these floor plans...

That's a weird layout for a family, but I kind of like it.  Actually, with the new photos, I am now kind of loving this house.  It has a really good feel to it.

The new asking price was $2,249,000.

It sold on Friday...

For $2.230,000.

P.S.  The Downies have some nice coffee tables...
