I hate to disappoint you ks800, but I was planning on bidding on 225 Windsor Place in March, but was told there were multiple bids at or over the asking price of $1.45M immediately after the first OH. I thought the price was pretty crazy then, but the house was done so beautifully that I was willing to make what I thought was a very reasonable offer (not at or above asking). WT prices continue to amaze me.

I saw the Windsor Place house a couple of months ago. It's in very nice, though dated, condition, but I had a hard time overlooking the view from the front porch of an ugly metal garage door across the street (also didn't like that the MBR has only a single, tiny closet and that, contrary to what the listing says, there is a door in the MBR that leads not to a terrace but just to the roof of the front porch).

BTW, the $1.49M WT house Bette links to came down from $1.55M when first listed as a FSBO a few weeks ago. It's right next door to a house listed by Corcoran late last winter that was priced at $999K.
