FOR LEASE - 20 Sandringham Drive - ARMOUR HEIGHTS

It's really hard to tell...

But this 6 bedroom, 7 bathroom house on a 144 x 384.83 foot lot at 20 Sandringham Drive in Armour Heights is actually this house...

The house with the hallway that looked like a medieval castle...

It was first listed in 2011 for $4,750,000 with a price increase in May 2012 to $4,880,000.

Then, I realized that the land that was located beside this house where the driveway is on the left...

Had been listed as an 86 x 351 foot lot and it was listed at $2,195,000.

It sold in October for $1,975,000.

A month later, this house had a price drop to $4,600,080.

And between then and now, the empty lot has turned into this house...

That you can see to the left of 20 Sandringham...

This house seems to have sold at some point as well because it has been totally redone...

And my reaction when I saw the interior was...

They ripped out the wood railing that I loved...

And replaced it with this...

As well as all the wood work...but that isn't necessarily a bad thing.  I just don't love what they replaced it with.  

They did keep a lot of stuff like the kitchen which they just expanded and the master bath which they also expanded with another sink.

As for the layout, I think I would switch the living room and the dining room...

And put some couches and a smaller dining table in the family room to make it work better for a family.

But overall, I don't really get this house.

This house is now listed for lease and has been for a while as a reader sent it in a month ago (thanks!).

The asking price for this rental is...

$19,000/month.

And I guess at that price...

Looks like Veuve Clicquot is the new Pellegrino...
