Kitchen and sunroom need to be updated. From the pics, the bedrooms look tiny. The basement is awesome. Given the neighborhood, and assuming the plumbing, electrical and mechanical is recent, I guess it’s a fair price.

Cute house. Kitchen needs renovation. and those houses have NO back yard (which is likely why there is no picture of one). i looked in that area 3 years ago and saw a similar house in similar condition for a similar price. so in this market…probably needs to come down 10%.

Another trait of DC home owners, always lying, the metro is not what most people would publish as “WALKING” distance. I agree with Joseph Hovsep. This house is a bad deal. lots of shooting and unlicensed bike rideers.

I also don’t know much about house prices in that area but would say its alittle over priced, maybe 400k. Yes its close to the park but it is far from the metro, they should something about being close to a bus route instead. I think the house need some work done to it especially the kitchen. It looks so closed in and really outdated.

This house used to have the most awesome BBQs in the back yard, which is small as Jim mentions, but didn’t seem to hinder the parties that happened there. We bought on the next street over almost behind this house in Dec. 08 and paid $475k, but our kitchen and bath are new. I’d say good deal for $400k.

It’s a nice safe neighborhood, and yeah, the metroRAIL isn’t close, but you can easily walk 1 to 2 blocks to 3 differernt metroBUS stops. (And isn’t the bus looking better and better these days with the new express lines?) And they have the nicest neighbors! (We live next door, and paid waayyyy more in 2007)

@Victoriam HAHAHA!

There is still work needed to reach $424. The kitchen isn’t bad, it’s TRAGIC. I remember those cabinets from the 70s, they should be left there. $$$ spent in the kitchen will be returned plus @ 30% so why not update.

The bright colors are…bright and colorful, but aren’t helping anyone see this as their future home. Stick with the neutrals like in the living room. (But the one of the Yellow Room straight on should be blown up and framed, great shot.) There are also stains in the hardwood, dog chewing marks on some doorways, too much “stuff” in the basement and no stuff in master bdrm? All these add to an overall effect that there is a lot work needed to make this a home.

A good deal is sub $400. If you wanna update the kitchen, paint everything NEUTRAL (why aren’t the walls ANY color?) and stage the important living areas, I think you’d see a buyer in a matter of weeks. Leave it as it is and you will have to wait for the market to come to you. Maybe by the end of the year or next Spring.

Has your REALTOR shared this? ‘Cuz they should.
