They did live there with 2 kids, number 3 arrived just before or after they moved back East. And the price was depressed by the ongoing construction next door (not helped either by bad marketing, with the price starting at a ridiculous $4.5 million then dropping $500K and $500K more in just a few months).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179311615101890268.post-25036355671196038532008-01-09T12:52:00.000-08:002008-01-09T12:52:00.000-08:0012:29...Thank's for the additional pics.

You want to sell the house, not the furniture. The more it blends and the less intrusive it is, perspective buyers see the house for what they will make it, not as it is. Real Estate 101.
