Even though I was looking for a fixer-upper, I crossed this one off my list right away. It looked like the previous renovator had very little idea what they were doing and I can't remember why, but my realtor and I had great concerns about the electrical system. Also that block just seemed really cut off and kinda sketch, at least for someone without a car, and the yard is about 3 feet square. Oooh, I remember looking at this house when I was buying.

It's been fixed up, costs less than renting, and the location ain't bad -- close to the new YES! market. Buy my microbrew and drink it on my stoop and play backgammon. Good life. GREAT deal.

It's amazing though that yesterday's GDoN was 2br basement apt on the same block and they're asking $100k more. I think this was a good deal / fair price.

It's more like a row-apartment, in a dumpy location. From that point of view, a similarly sized apartment in a similar (undesirable) location probably would be less than the mortgage+taxes+insurance+upkeep of this place. I'd say this is a fair deal after the seller's subsidy of the final price. @SG: I’d agree with that sentiment if this place weren’t so small. It’s more like a row-apartment, in a dumpy location.
