[quote=bearishgurl]Just noticed 2009Buyer’s article was from last year – LOL.
I did visit the portal and she must not have been charged with any crimes. There’s no case.
Appears that Baldwin finished it for Chevy Chase Bank (take-out lender??).
Also noticed from SDLookup link provided that Brown bought the land for $850K in 2003. In F/Y 08/09, the land portion of the tax bill was reassessed at $800K. The listing erroneously states the property is on 1.25 AC. It is on 2.25 AC.
I still think a good deal, even with fire danger. Article states it cost $13M to build. I believe it. It is an extraordinary property.[/quote]
I’m with you, BG. My DH had the opportunity to see the inside of the house, and he said it was absolutely magnificent. Suzy put a lot of time, energy, and money into that house and filled it will all kinds of valuable antiques (things like thousand+ year old doors from Europe, etc.).
Though I hate the scum who strip houses when they’re foreclosed on, supposedly, Suzy was trying to take these items because she was trying to protect them from thieves and vandals when the house was foreclosed. Not sure if that was true or not, but it’s different than what the Craigslist F/C bums do, IMHO.
I think the whole story is sad. It sounds like she was trying to do something nice.
