Housing crash What crash

Red Sox hurler Curt Schilling just put his marvy Medfield manse on the market yesterday for a whopping $8 million – some $3.5 million more than he paid for it back in 2003.

Schilling and his wife, Shonda, who first announced they were selling the house last fall (before No. 38 signed a one-year extension with the Sox), finally listed their 20-room Colonial on 25-plus acres yesterday.

The 11,000-square-foot, three-story house with attached eight-car garage, is assessed for $3.9 million. The Schillings bought it from former New England Patriot Drew Bledsoe for $4.5 million. Bledsoe had originally listed the property at $9 million.

It’s a fabulous house but its not the house we want to live in for the rest of our lives, Shonda told us last fall. I’d really like to be in a neighborhood for the kids. And we know its not going to sell in a week so we thought wed put it on the market now and see what happens.

Also check out Schillings very own blog – 38 pitches

The listing is being marked by Hammond Residential (hmmm, I thought Gibson Sothebys was the Offical Red Sox Real Estate Agency)

Anyway.., BUY this house with us and save $195,000 from our commission refund!

    Please say it isn’t so. You have GOT to be kidding. I moved out of the South End because it got to the point where there were far more goods and services for dogs than people, and now I see the same thing slowly but surely starting to happen in Southeie. Don’t me wrong, I love pets but I think something very odd happened to people during the past 5 or 10 years to the point where dogs are now considered “humans.” Dogs are not humans. They do not need sweaters, booties, baked-goods, massages, organic food, – and certainly not “luxury hotels! I find the opening of Bark Place to be an embarrasment to the city when there are so many working-class, struggling people in Southie and many of Boston’s other neighborhoods who have never, and will never stay at a “luxury hotel” in their lifetime. People……….we are in dire economic times. Where are our priorities?

    Ah, Sam. The BRA, the elected neighborhood officials, and a large chunk of the Southie community are with you. William Linehan, a Boston City Councilor, added, “All the elected officials were on the same page in opposition,” he said. “But every once in a while the ZBA makes a decision based on whatever the laws and rules are…” The question to be asking now is, will she be able to stay in business with so much opposition from the community and government organizations?
