Pending on Martin Dale

Fly away, little bird

13 Martin Dale ($3.295 million). Owners paid $2.750 for it in 2004 so, depending on how much they put into the 2007 “renovations” mentioned in the listing (it’s a flexible term in our exciting world of reltorese), they probably made out. And certainly, they enjoyed 16 years on a very pleasant street.

Odd that the agent used an artists’ rendering of the house when it was first listed and stuck with it during its entire 294-day stay on market. I think the house looks fine in real life but in keeping with the agent’s sensibilities, I’ve substituted an illustration of my own.
