What a difference a year (and a well-manicured lawn) can make. Last April we remarked upon the speed at which (one day) this charming Midwood Victorian sold last year for $20,000 over the asking price. That was then, when it was priced at $1 million. Now it’s back on the market asking $1.375 million. It looks like it could have had a tune up and there’s plenty of hyperbolic language in the listing to that effect (“XXX mint”), so presumably part of the price increase reflects that. Somehow we doubt there was $350,000 of work done. Sure is a beaut though. All you gawkers can take a gander from 12 to 2 on Sunday. While you’re at it, check out this house just down the block.
