This $1.5M Madrona Mansion is Seattle's Priciest Short Sale | #ArmonkNY Homes

-


A mansion built in 1909 is now up for a short sale 105 years later. Must be time for a rebirth in spirit only because it certainly doesn't look like it needs a remodel or renovation. $1,500,000 buys a brick classic from the early days of Seattle's history Women didn't even have the right to vote, yet. Even though it has four floors and 6,620 square feet, it only has 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths; more than enough, and a measure of how big the formal areas must be.

The description touts the house's balconies and decks, and room enough for dinner parties and socials. This really is classic elegance where the design elements can become a list of superlatives, yet don't intrude on the feeling of relaxed luxury.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10.
