Steal of the week — maybe the year

33 Pleasant Street, bank owned, asking just $1.399 million. I’ll confess, a reader brought this to my attention, but checking out yesterday’s price cut, I have to agree: it’s a huge bargain.

A failed spec house — I don’t know why more inexperienced speculators don’t consult me — it was once listed at $3 million, way back in 2005, but as recently as 2015 it was still asking $2.770. Obviously, those were both optimistic prices, because no one bit, but gee, $1.4 for this house? Best buy in Riverside.

Some !-95 noise, but 33’s on the “right” side of the road, buffered by houses on Leonard Street and then the houses on the north side of Pleasant, and the noise is entirely tolerable, especially at this price
