I could see this going to multiple bids

No showings until tomorrow, but 190 Lake Avenue has been brought to the market at $5.995 million. Built in 1900 for use as, I think, the Rosemary Hall’s Head Mistress (if that’s the proper term, and if this was her house — there were two, side-by-side homes built here as part of that school) and recently renovated. It sits on a full-acre in the R-12 zone and although it’s right on the road, the backyard is very special, and private. I was impressed while touring it back many years ago, pre-renovation, and it can only be better now.

Not for everyone, but I’d think this will have great appeal to more than one (rich) buyer looking for something close to town, but not cheek-by-jowl with the great unwashed next door.
