Spectacular Bid said...
I like the house and while the grounds lack any landscaping vision it is a 'nice' offering on the market. Not a real "wow" kind of home in its current form or presentation. So paying a large premium for it is questionable.
As Jack said the interior is in need of changes. I'd quickly drop the way too exessive rose color in multiple rooms and dispaching the Lilly Pulitzer gone bad pattern schemes. The original hardwoods and ornate details after the current owner's furnishing are gone would shine quickly.
Even with a few changes is it worth a price in the 'teens'? I doubt it in this market or even in the go-go boom days.
