SOLD - 185 Balmoral Avenue - SOUTH HILL

This is a 5 bedroom, 5 bathroom house on a 60 x 135.5 foot lot at 185 Balmoral Avenue just west of Avenue in South Hill.

It is a beautiful old house that looks like this in the streetview...

And used to look like this in 1909...

When it was the home of architect F.S. Baker who was also the architect for the house around the corner at 52 Poplar Plains...

That I loved and posted in April 2012 when it was listed at $1,789,000.  It sold for $1,850,000.

And according the last listing in 2011 when the house was listed at $2,695,000 and looked like this...

It had also been the home to designer Brian Gluckstein at one pointed when he renovated it extensively and painted the outside.

According to the most recent listing, it was once again home to a designer and, from a quick google search, it turns out it is the home to designer, Colleen McGill of McGill Design Group...

The former owner of the house at 6 Rathnelly Avenue...

That had the great dining room (if you like black, white, and wood) with the great light...

That house  sold in February 2013 for $1,445,00.

And I guess she renovated this house because the kitchen is new (or maybe just redone, it's hard to tell) and great...

And the house shows REALLY well and I love that dining room light now hanging in the front hall of this house...

This house was listed at $3,828,000.

It sold in 8 days...

For $4,075,000.
