The flier says:

“Don’t miss this one! Very livable detached farmhouse on wonderful tree-lined block. Property shows well but needs work. Large rooms, beautiful wood floors, decorative fpcl in LR + huge finished attic! Property has CAC but no compressor. Property sold in Strictly “AS IS CONDITION”

You can find more info here and a mouse on house tour here.

A reader is thinking of putting in a bid so do you think $249,000 sounds reasonable?

And for comparison another reader requests 331 Bryant St, NE which is going for $415,000. (You can see a virtual tour here)

“Price just reduce by 50K!Classic mid-century modern built in 1950 by Washington architect. With light filled rooms, refinished oak hardwood floors, many original details with new appliances, mechanical upgrades and restored charm. Perched high above the street level with wonderful views. Master bedroom plus three others on second floor.”

The reader writes:

“I love it, and we’re thinking about taking a look. It’s huge and has a ton of character.”

It does look pretty sweet, it even has a great door picture! Though, I feel like the price may still be a bit high. It has been reduced from $749,900 to $699,900. Sound reasonable? What do you think of the house itself?

The flier says:

“Nicely restored detached Cape Cod. The facade belies the very sharp interior. New HVAC systems. 2-zone: Lower Level and first and second floors. Enjoy large yard. Parking. This is Value Packed and an investment grade property. Shown easily by appointment. Bonus lower level for au pair suite or “mother-in-law suite”.”

More info and photos found here.

Let me say that Brookland really knocked my socks off. A great quiet neighborhood with some really cool homes. There are a few restaurants but my friend who lives there told me that his and his wife’s number one complaint is the lack of restaurants and bars. But it’s not too far by car or bus from the hot spots.

So this home is interesting. It has dropped from $542,000 to the current asking price of $499,000. In addition to the price what do you think of the home itself?

Ed. Note: I think this home may actually be in a neighborhood called Woodridge which borders Brookland.
