We lamented that, in all likelihood, whoever buys the property will tear the house down to build some god-awful McMansion. The house, though large for its day (1947), is too small and unfashionable for the neighborhood it's in. If it happens, it will be a sad day.
And sadly, I have discovered that, indeed, the house has been demolished and replaced by an ugly mcmansion. Bastard! May they rot in hell!
