Haha no...the first home I ever owned was only blocks from this, near Outabounds. I love this area.
The crack was tongue in cheek mostly; I know there will be a great market for these. It was mostly because of the heavy-handed traditional style of them (really I guess they are more Parisian row house than anything), which I associate closely with a rapidly-aging clientele. That said, I know French Chateau/French Provincial has also been trending with the new-money McMansion set over the past decade or so. I'm betting they'll find plenty of takers that fall somewhere between that group and the city's remaining nearly-dead, old-money empty-nesters.
All of this is again tongue-in-cheek; they look very very nice and back in the day I would have loved to have gotten the high-end trim orders or hardware/plumbing orders, depending on where I was working at the time.
