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.
