How’d that foreclosure auction go for the humongous early-eighties brick house on Harold St. in Montrose used in recent years as a party pad and chainsaw test site?
Let’s just say that the auction listing is gone, the property is back on MLS — and the price has been cut another $45K. But unlike the sudden, swift, and unexplained felling of the mature street trees surrounding this property, the chopping of the list price has resulted from a series of 6 hacks, from $644,900 last October to $469,900 just last week.

The stats: 4 bedrooms, 4 full- and 3 half-baths, 3 fireplaces, and 4 staircases, all somehow squeezed into a mere 9,111-sq.-ft.

Would someone please buy this property and build three bungalows with porches and yards and garages/garage apts in the back? Bring the block back to what it was, and I’m sure the buyers will come.
I’ll gladly pay you on Thursday for the cash to do that Today!
If that isn’t some developer’s revenge, I don’t know what is.
Is someone planning on turning this into a parking lot, because why in the hell chop down the trees which were the only things making this place palatable?
What is it with everyone taking out all the trees in Montrose? The builder of the townhomes on Stanford and Branard took out the one remaining oak tree on Stanford.
Maybe he thought it would help sell the third remaining unit?
I suspect he thought it would distract from the new “fenced in” look he’s added. Which is actually distracting from the clean lines of the townhouses.
They took out the magnolia on Stanford and Branard after it died. The sidewalk contractor killed it when he severed its roots to excavate for the new sidewalk.

This was just recently. It was an oak and one of the townhouse owners had a swing attached to one of the limbs. Maybe the builder didn’t like the swing…
I tried to buy this tear-down at auction, but the bank had a $485k reserve price (good luck with that). Now they’re trying to sell it for $470k?!? Seems like the guy running the show at the bank really knows what he’s doing. What’s lot value…$100k? $150k?
