Anastasia Volochkova is ready to give the apartment a littleif not for a third of the initial cost - just to buy! Photo: archive "Antenna-Telesem" His apartment in the center of St. Petersburg, next to the Mikhailovsky Theater, has not been able to sell for four years. Even the drastic price cut, which the ballerina decided on quite recently, does not help. Now, for a four-room apartment with an area of 196 sq. meters, which in 2011 was estimated at 250 million rubles, Anastasia asks for "only" 89 million, but there are still no buyers.
Too bright and pompous interior scare awaybuyersPhoto: vipflat.ruVinoy everything - too pompous interior, created with the active participation of the ballerina: the abundance of gilding, mirrors, painted ceilings, stained glass and stucco decorations a la the royal palace does not delight, but rather frightens off potential owners.
Even the ballerina's bedroom causes a lot of questions. Photo: vipflat.ru "The apartment is well located: the Mikhailovsky Theater, the Russian Museum, and the building itself, in which it is located - historical, was designed by Carlo Rossi, the famous St. Petersburg architect, the author of the General Staff at the Palace Square and the Alexandrinsky Theater. And, of course, they are interested in such living space, - St. Petersburg realtors comment on the situation. - But all the possible buyers are confused by the interior: the palace style is now out of fashion, and not all are ready to live in the "sovereign rooms" according to the sketches that Anastasia claimed personally. If such a square were sold without finishing, the apartment would "leave" much faster. "

Although the advantages of the apartment definitely is: it is located on the third floor of the building and has already eleven windows! Six of them go to the Arts Square, five more - to the Italian street. And the ceilings, which customers find "too pretentious and pompous," painted not by nameless masters-half-educated, but by well-known artists-restorers from the Hermitage-such information is available to realtors.
But for some reason, "museum luxury" few peopleinspirationPhoto: vipflat.ru By the way, here recalls a long-standing scandal, which is also associated with this apartment: in 2004, designers who worked for a ballerina, went to court with a statement that Volochkova owed them 76 thousand dollars. Allegedly the ballerina did not want to pay for the work already done. The trial lasted three years and ended with an amicable agreement, according to which Volochkova still gave the money to artists.

Volochkova did not want to give up her house, and the repairs, started back in the time of a happy ballerina romance with businessman Igor Vdovin, remained unclaimed. So more than 10 years, elite housing has stood, accumulating dust, locked on a key.
Area of Arts, where is located on thesale apartmentPhoto: vipflat.Sell the apartment Anastasia decided because of financial difficulties: not so long ago she bought a chic 3-storey mansion in Moscow suburbs of 645 square meters. meters with a plot of 16 hectare. The name cost $ 3 million. Here, Volochkova wants to compensate for these expenses. But, alas, it's unlikely that she will be able to earn money selling a St. Petersburg apartment from a ballerina: after all, her current price is 89 million rubles, or 1.5 million dollars (if we count according to the latest exchange rate), still below the one on which it was bought. Realtors say that during the deal in 2001, Anastasia laid out a tidy sum for unnecessary apartments - 120 million in Russian currency. So you can still argue about dancing, and apartment business is definitely not for Volochkova.
