Sticking to her guns
/
15 Reynwood Manor, 9.4 acres off North Street with a 1935 house on it, is back on the multi-list after expiring just yesterday. Same broker, same price, $7.750 million, though I might have been tempted to try a lower one after almost five years of unsuccessful attempts by the owner to MoveOn™.
There has been some price movement over that time: it was originally listed at $8.9 million in May 2017, and when that listing expired in May, 2018 and Tamar Lurie took over, she raised the price to $9.250. That counter-intuitive marketing strategy failed, for some reason, and there have been two price cuts since. More may be called for.
I wrote about this house back in January 2019, and you can check the comments there for the history of the home and its original owner. Interesting man.
Most readers agreed with my assessment that the “manor” feels cold and sterile, but interestingly enough, I received a reader comment to that article just last week, disagreeing, and saying slightly disparaging things about the author of this blog and the commenter’s fellow readers. I moved it to the “delete” file, figuring that because it referred to a three-year-old post it was stale and irrelevant. But heck, now that the house has resurfaced, I might as well give Mr. Mark MacDonald space to vent his ire.
I imagine you think yourself clever, Chris. You’re not. You're simply limited. Clearly, you enjoy the bitchy bully pulpit you share with your fellow snotty Philistines of questionable intelligence far more than you do any appreciation of Art or History.
Approach aside, Reynwood Manor is an architectural masterpiece, which, at the direction and artistic talents of the right people, could render whatever it is you live in as a Siberian animal hospice by comparison. Have a bit of class and be silent about things you’ll never understand.
If I were in the riposting mood, I’d point out to Angry Reader that, notwithstanding his defense of this “architectural masterpiece”, it remains unsold, unwanted, and overpriced. But that would be rude.
