In early May, a spectacular home in Birmingham hit the market at a list price of $6,395,000, making it the most expensive residence currently on the market in the City of Birmingham. Our company, SKBK Sotheby's International Realty, has been entrusted to market this exceptional home.
400 Arlington was originally built for Carole Ilitch Trepeck and her then husband David Trepeck, who founded Uptown Entertainment, the company that runs Birmingham's two movie theaters, Birmingham 8 and The Palladium. Uptown Entertainment is a subsidiary of Ilitch Holdings (as in Little Caesers, Detroit Tigers, Detroit Red Wings and so on...) The Trepecks decided to move to California and the home was sold to it's current owners in 2002.
The 11,000 square foot home sits on 2.25 acres of immaculately manicured gardens with a magnificent swimming pool. There are 6 bedroom suites, 8 full baths and 2 half baths. A guest house/private apartment with a full kitchen and sitting area is perched over the 4 car garage. The lower level features a wine cellar, workout room and additional living space. The main floor features a separate service kitchen for parties and events. Public records show that the home's 2009 property taxes were $85,314.
The house was very well received by local agents who toured it for the first time this week. We enjoyed listening to oohs and ahhhs as agents explored the home and declared it one of the finest on the market today.
Beautiful indeed. Best of luck to your team in finding the perfect buyer of this magnificent home.
I read about it on your real blog... recognized the Ilitch name...
Well, now that I have to use it or lose it with my AR blog, I guess I will have to check in every 90 days to repost something. Thanks for stopping by MM!
Vivian seems verrrrrrrrry interesting!
I want to be a millionaire and live in a house like this one on 400 Arlington!
Looks like a gorgeous home. I'd love to preview it.
I can't get the link to work to view it. Maybe the link is now down?
Maureen, I just came by to wish you a Happy and Healthy Christmas and let me know what I can do for you in 2011!
what makes ppl think they deserve such a thing? why do ppl think they are better than others and therefore waste money on such an extravagance when there is a shitty economy going on and the money better spent elsewhere? i laugh whent these places don't sell or get foreclosed on. serves them right. they are no better than me and could live in a house like mine just fine. they need to be knocked off their pedestals abit. rediculous.
