2301 Diamond St. Was one of the many places I previewed on Tuesday and though I saw some great places (and not so great), I thought this one took the award for “most visual stimulation.”
A little about the house:
- 3500 sq. ft (huge)
- 4+ beds, 3.5 baths
- detached on 3 sides
- 19′ ceilings with windows from floor to ceiling
- garden
- state of the art kitchen
- Price: $1,995,000
It’s a whole lot of house and the finishes are great, but nobody would know after just walking through. The sellers are art and rug collectors of sorts and they did not spare more than a few inches of wall without putting up a modern piece of art. Every room had several expensive and busy rugs placed over the carpeting. Between the floor to ceiling art on the walls, the art in displays and the rugs on the floor, I was just trying to keep from getting motion sickness. I know the house is great and it would be perfect for chef’s and/or entertainers, but to really be certain, I’d have to see the place again after it is cleared. Often times a house that shows this poorly can be a fantastic opportunity for a buyer. The few buyers that can see past the current state of information and stirring colors that are forced at you upon walking in may actually find a large Glen Park gem.

999 Wisconsin came on the market for $789K in October of 2005. The price was decreased to $749K in November of 2005 and taken off the market in December of 2005. After people had fun with their families over the holiday and were ready to jump back into the market, this large yet location-challenged condo was brought back on the market in January of ‘06 at the price of $749K. This poor big-blue condo sat around with no love and was thus reduced to $729K in Feb. 2006. Dropped again to it’s lowest price of $699,500 in March of 2006 and still, big-blue sat. It was withdrawn from the market this week after sitting on the market for 180 days. Was the location the biggest drawback? Is the location any worse than the surrounding streets where several lofts and condo’s have sold in the $700K-$1+million dollar range?
