The 3,000+ square foot Victorian at 200 Clayton hit the market in 2008 asking $1,795,000 with a tenant in the in-law paying $1,550 per month. And according to a plugged-in tipster, a bid was received for $1,650,000 but was dismissed for being too low at the time.
Withdrawn from the market without a sale in 2008, the property returned to the market this past April without the tenant and asking $1,750,000. In June its list price was reduced to $1,599,000, and then to $1,549,000 in July.
Yesterday, the asking price for 200 Clayton was reduced to $1,499,000. We can hear the heels clicking from here (“…there’s no time like 2008, there’s no time like 2008…”).
∙ Listing: 200 Clayton (5/3.25) – $1,499,000 [MLS]
Are you sure the tenant is gone? The MLS pictures would suggest otherwise.
[Editor’s Note: No tenant, that’s the owner’s gear in the in-law.]
Tax record says this is a 3/1 with 3,030 sqft. Listing says 5/3.25 with 4,330 sqft. And I don’t see permits. Hmmm.
I originally hadn’t read the subject of this post and thought the heel-clicking referred to G.
Man, the turned-down bidder must feel terrible. Unless they “won” on another bid.
The owner lives in the bottom unit.
The exterior of this place is beautiful. Absolutely stunning. The pictures don’t do it justice.
The pictures of the interior don’t do this home justice either, just not in a good way. They are like an on-line personals ad. A little old, carefully, carefully, carefully chosen angles and exposures. Way worse than a real-estate ads’ usual low standards.
You might not have to take it down to the studs, but you’d need to get close.
The reason why this home is still available besides originally overpricing their home is because the floor plan is very difficult.
The basement leaves a lot to be desired and the upstairs is like an attic. It’s a shame they didn’t accept $1.65m because I would estimate a $200-300k+ remodel is in order.
My clients were excited to buy this home until we walked in the door.
What’s up with the Rondald McDonald color scheme?
Beautiful exterior, but the interior needs to be completely redone because of a disastrous subdivision of the original SFH into three units, presumably some time back in the 1950s when this neighborhood was a very different beast. With that said, it’s a great location, and someone willing to drop $300-400K into the place will end up with a $2m home, easy.

Your clients and everyone else’s too. The place is a disaster.
Fugly interior. Tons of work to be done. I’d have a hard time parting with $1.2 for this pile…..
