Does the master bedroom have only that one tiny window? It seems oddly shaped and with the bathroom at the front of the room (where all the windows are), it isn’t a good layout. They would have been better off making the entire 3rd floor a master suite. I think it’s priced too high.

I agree that there were some questionable calls with the layout, and I wish there was a roofdeck (although it looks like there is a door to an area that could have one), but I’m not sure how much that really affects the property value. But let’s consider that people break these rowhomes into multiple condo units because they are worth more that way (i.e., the rehabber can make more money selling multiple units than one complete building). If this one was broken into two units, I think the top 2 floor unit would go somewhere between 700-800 in this market (one at 1756 U closed for 785 in september), and the bottom 2 floor unit would go somewhere between 500-600. So a total range would be between 1.2 and 1.4. Because this is not broken up into 2 units, the price would have to be somewhere less. So with it listed at 1.4m, yes, it is priced too high. It will probably settle for something between 1.1 and 1.3, but 1.1 would be a good deal and 1.3 would be a little on the high side but still not necessarily a bad deal.

Firehouse is in the 1600 block of U, so yup, very close by. Also, give me a break, they list it as Dupont/Kalorama. It’s Dupont/Adams Morgan/U St., which is totally different than Kalorama. Also, love that they include a photo of WholeFoods….

I think $million+ buyers want more for their money than a home depot rennovation. I would. If I had the money, I’d want my house to say, “I’m rich and classy!” and that house kind of… doesn’t.

Petworth Res has a good point about the rental though- if someone wanted an investment property and planned to rent out both top and bottom, this would be a good one. The location would “sell” well to people who aren’t too familiar with the actual area, and the finishes look durable.

The Whole Foods is a 20-25 minute walk from there. Sorry, that’s false advertising. On the other hand, Yes! will be a short 10 minute walk (or a really quick and possibly worthwhile bus ride if you have a large load), and Harris Teeter is even less than that. So, the neighborhood has good grocery stores in walking distance. The fact that they choose to show a far-off Whole Foods tells either the agent lives in Clarendon, or they’re looking to sell to people who currently live at least as far away as Clarendon. For all the reasons mentioned above, this price is far above even an appropriate starting bargaining price. It’s for dopes, and there are probably more dopes from outside the area than in it.
