There's something awesome about unquenchable optimism

65 Hunting Ridge Road is back, this time priced at $5.695. It was first offered to the public at $10.750 million in 2011, and keeps bobbing to the surface at various suggested prices, all so far unsuccessful.

But someday, if not someday soon, someone’s going to look at this house and say, “hey, wait a minute ….”. One can hope that it won’t be an estate sale by then.

(Snark aside, though snarky is so much fun, this is a very nice house, built by Aberdeen, one of the best. Separate guest house, beautiful interiors, and a price that’s a lot more reasonable than before. I’d hate to see a buyer veer away from this house just because I poked fun at it because, while there are a lot of unfortunate homes out there, this isn’t one of them. And no, I didn’t receive an angry email from the owner or agent to prompt this note, I just thought I’d point out its qualities.)
