Remember going to the 2001 Junior League Decorators' Show House? Well, either way, the Chapin Parkway mansion that was rehabilitated and redecorated for the 2001 Junior League event has just been listed for sale with an asking price of $1.4 million.
The towering tudor sits on Chapin between Potomac and Saybrook and contains nearly 7,000 square feet of living space. That's an asking price of just over $200 per square foot. The house last sold in November 2000 for $550,000. This $1+ million listing comes on the heels of another notable Buffalo mansion selling - David Rich's residence at 37 Middlesex sold in December 2008 for $1.4 million - that sale price represented a price per square foot of nearly $220. Not surprisingly, these houses command huge premiums to the average Buffalo houses which generally trade for around $40 per square foot.
The Chapin house has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, a 3.5 car heated garage and a 2 bedroom guest apartment and a host of other mansion-style luxuries including marble floors, pocket doors, and an Auburn Watson kitchen.
If you want to just write a check for the $1.4 million so you don't have to hassle around with a monthly mortgage payment, you'll just have to worry about your utilities and your property taxes. And the property taxes are. . . drumroll. . . a mere $19,755 a year.

It seems like $1.4 million is a popular price. A unit in the Campanile Apartments on Delaware and Bryant was just listed for the same amount. It is reported to have 7000 square feet and 12 bathrooms (no waiting). Anybody know who lives there???
