For unknown reasons, one building lot was left alone. On paper, a prime spot for building a home - but it had remained undeveloped, and had changed hands several times over the years.
Some neighbours call it a monstrosity - because it is bigger than surrounding homes, with a much higher roof-line and it just looks quite different from the homes already here, particularly in colouring and style. A mini McMansion maybe.
There's just a small matter of the price. The realtor isn't even joking either. For you madam, just $1.15 million
(roughly the same for US $, and at today's rates, that's about GBP £735,000, EUR878,000 or AUS$1.19m).
When I tell you most homes in this road go for less than half that price, I am now intrigued as to who my new neighbour might be - if the house ever sells of course.
But I probably won't like them on principle - they stole my view afterall.
That's a lot of green stamps, if they still have them!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame about your wonderful view. I'd sue. LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've heard about the young woman from Saskatchewan who moved to Calgary. When her parents asked if she had a nice view from her apartment, she said, "No, I don't have a view. The mountains are in the way."

They didn't steal your view -- they just changed it, LOL! Enjoy looking at their house from now on!
ReplyDeleteThat must have been disappointing to lose the view! Oh my, that price would be a steal in CA:)
ReplyDeletePerhaps you'll be best friends, invited to share a cuppa and the view every morning.
ReplyDeleteThat does seem like a lot of money but then it is a million dollar view.
This is true Martha - I obviously hadn't thought this through - I need to walk over with a cup of sugar on their first day?!
DeleteWow--kind of puts the 2-story, 1914-vintage brick we bought in Walkerville in 1990 for $20K into perspective...
