What agents won't tell you is there is no way to get anything except a custom built, split double bed box spring upstairs! And I only paid $90k for mine in 1992!

The styles are wayyy off from each other. This house looks like 4 different designers each got to pick a room and decorate how ever they wanted. The styles are wayyy off from each other.

And despite all the comments about size, 1350 sq ft isn't that tiny - it's about the same size as an average Petworth rowhouse (not counting basement). The location is what makes it worth it. Seriously, there are very few houses on the market for this price in this neighborhood. It does kind of make you wonder though why the owners didn't renovate the kitchen first - for that price you want a house in pristine condition. Also looking at the master bath, my bet is this was a 3BR house they converted to 2BRs in order to have a master bath. And spent so much money on the bath there was none left to do the kitchen...

Location. Location. Location. You won't find any house three blocks to the DuPont metro much cheaper. Heck, you can't find a house in DuPont much cheaper. It may be small, but some people want to live in that area, and that's the cost. Good deal for three reasons. Location. Location. Location.

I let my partner talk me into a "stainless" refrigerator when we had to replace it. It's in constant need of wiping down as it shows EVERY mark. I think stainless appliances are only important to those that don't use the kitchen. On the up side, I finally figured out how my kitty was able to get on top of the kitchen cabinets.

And on a tangent, I don't get stainless steel, I mean it's ugly and doesn't actually perform better, right? Here’s a more direct link for the lazy: http://www.homevisit.com/mlsTour/select/?id=35760

I mean, the muted color decor with subtle, but not-too-feminine Laura Ashley-esque touches? The dark marble master bath? The ultra-modern dressing room? Does it come with a lhasa apso?

And if you look at sales over the past couple of months it's really only the low-end and mid-range homes that are selling. So if I was buying a house at this end of the market I'd be looking for a seller to give me a helluva deal... and this isn't it.
