There’s usually one stand out – and in all fairness – it was impossible to go to all of the open houses today…a couple were re-visits – such as 1068 Lake Ave – the irony for this one- is that I have biked past it for the last 10 years – never really liking it….but it’s back with a facelift and what a difference it made…refreshed, re-painted, staged and most importantly – repriced @ $4,175,000 – it presents new possibilities, lots of privacy – and country club like living….

So leaves me with 2 standouts – one in the higher range 449 Round Hill Rd – price: $8,250,000…quiet on the outside, but lots of thoughtful detail throughout…it expired in 2012 at $7,950,000 after 550 days – although it’s been totally renovated with amazing quality materials and workmanship – a gem.

The most interesting surprise of the day was 75 Dearfield – offered at $3.,495,000 – which most people pass every day going to Putnam Ave – it has been in the same family for many years – with lots of history! They have done all the right things to the interior of the property – with new electrical, appliances, heating, windows…impeccable…there is a bit more FAR if the way it currently lives doesn’t suit the new owners – but all in all – this home is built to enjoy right now and to last a few more generations!
