Quick contract in Hillcrest Park

39 Hillcrest Park (Barbara Hindman listing) asking $1.8 million, contract in 11 days. It makes sense to me, because, though it sold for $1.665 in 2000 and nothing significant seems to have been done to it since, it’s a grand old 1920 house on an acre in Hillside Park, which has seen a resurgence in popularity and market value over the past twenty years. The buyer could put some real money into this house to update it and still feel comfortable.
