I love the “my kids were heartbroken” line…that’s laying it on just a little too thick to be believed…
But as the great quotation says “if you haven’t got anything nice to say, come sit over here by me”
Good for Mary Kay! The problem I see here, and with blogs in general, is that anyone can comment without leaving there real name or anything substantial to identify who is leaving a comment. I realize that Brownstoner is not Amazon, but it’s pretty shady to call out someone on their business practices and then sign the comment Anonymous.
Also, it would be a lot more helpful to see more posts that talk about the actual property, instead of the constant vague statements made about the broker.
There are quite a few untrue statements just made………
I absolutely spoke to no one about the house having been previously on the market……..
I never mentioned bidding war….
that is not my style
I always respond to people and never leave them hanging…….
re the Rugby Road incident….
absolutely untrue!
someone out there is out to get me..I would really like to know what it is..
why don’t you call me directly?
Well, as one of people who bought Kane Street more than 26 years ago (for $144,000!!) when it was painted black & white outside, I can tell you that all the most recent owners appear to have done is re-“brownstone” the front & replace the railings. All the interior appears the same as the major rehab (from 2 duplexes to single family) that the family we sold to did.
A lot of that detail was always there, and we were the ones who first “exposed” the plank floors. In fact the fireplace inserts look like they haven’t been painted since we put some of them in back then – same exact colors!!
This price, BTW, almost double what was paid for it less than 2 years ago, and almost 5 times what we sold it for a dozen years ago.
“I called Mary Kay Gallagher about this house, and she seem a little insulted when I verified the price drop.
She claimed the house was worth the original price, and wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bidding war.”
What did you expect? “Curses! You caught us! Now I’m compelled to accept your lowball offer!” It’s not like telling Rumplestiltskin you know his name.
I agree about the fab interior details – but that siding was a horrible mistake and I think the exterior (including the garden) really detracts from the interior. Curb appeal can’t approach the house with the half moon arch and turret that sold next door.

I saw this one in a FSBO open house, the detail are incredible.
I hope now that owner has switched to having realtor show the house, maybe owner will be able to get all the family members out of the house during the open house time. It’s very distracting to have everyone still in the house while it’s being shown, and don’t think the house showed as well because of this.
Yes the house needs some work (like a new kitchen) but that is something that just takes some money and time. The thing that makes this house special is the full three floors worth of period details. If it could figure out how to fit this house in my budget, I would be strongly considering it.
Holy Heck Batman I hope they get $2.3 for Kane St. My wife and I bought a 22 footer a block away for 330k less than 10 yrs ago.
the kane street house looks beautiful, but it’s a little skinny. i’d love to see a floorplan. but for $2.3 i think it might actually be worth it. those state st townhouses are skinny, not in as nice of a hood and ugly and they’re going for like $2.8. is kane a recent renovation?
