Still, think of the possibilities! Despite its current state, just the size of the kitchen makes me smile.

hilarious comments — thanks!

My comment is simple. The house is fabulous but I suspect the people spend all their time in that nook by the kitchen. It’s just way too much house for anyone. Imagine the heating and cooling bills for a house like that with 3 exposures.

My question is whats up with the two stoves? Do people actually cook so much they need two stoves on days other then holidays??

This is in kalorama? Really? Okie doke. Also that’s a horribly busy intersection. Don’t know if it’s a good “deal.” without a doubt it’s a nice house and I absolutely love the reception room, but if I had 2.6 mln to spend I think I could do better than this. Most of that is just my bias against Dupont circle. Dupoint is a niceplace to visit, but I just never understood the appeal of actually living in Dupont. And I agree with Stacey about the staging. For such a high price, I would expect the owners/agent to make a bit more of an effort at presentation.

if ever there was a home in need of staging, this is it. Granite countertops and a commercial sized refrigerator aren’t enough. The cabinets are outdated and the faux wall finish with painted trim is awful. And put in a fresh exhaust fan that isn’t yellowed–preferably not right in the middle of the room, and visible from the entertaining area. The draperies in the music room (‘center room’) and breakfast room hide the view and block daylight. The furniture arrangement in the music room is awkward too–seating blocking the circulation path and a piano in the middle of lounge furniture. The dining room looks abandoned. The green marble covering everything in the master bath is overwhelming, and why is there a huge TV blocking built-in bookcases in the master bedroom? There is just too much green everywhere in this house.

Ordinarily, I think ‘staging’ is a bunch of BS. Any decent homebuyer should be able to overlook your furniture choices, for example. But kitchens and baths need effort. And in this market, you’ve got to make your whole place look great, especially at that price.

I hope the owners and their agent are reading this!

Can someone tell me what a Kalorama-style house is? Is Kalorama supposed to be more prestigious than Dupont, now, or something?

Not worth 2.6 million. And an example of how some people with cash have horrible taste in decor / furniture.
