I believe I’ve featured this as HoTD before so I’m happy to finally get a look at the inside. I’m digging the master bedroom. Well this falls $100 short of the PoP house porn threshold – does $999,900 sound reasonable for this home with a 1 bedroom legal rental unit?

I thought this was a pretty unique looking rowhouse from the outside. I had no idea it was totally renovated as well. What do you think of the renovation? My initial feeling is that the asking price is a bit too high for this location. Though given the size and the ability to rent out the basement does $939,000 sound reasonable?

Former GDoN House at 11th and T Getting Renovated

December 8th, 2009 | By Prince Of Petworth in Buildings, Real Estate - Shaw, Renovation | 14 Comments »

IMG_1134

We looked at this house almost exactly a year ago, it was white then, you can see it here. At the time it was going for $720,000 but Redfin says it sold for $590,000 on 5/8/09. Anyway I thought it was interesting how they removed all the paint and have repointed the brick. It’s starting to look really nice. I wonder if they’ll keep it natural brick or paint it. Do you like the white paint or natural red brick better?

Judging Buildings – 902 T Street, NW

November 27th, 2009 | By Prince Of Petworth in Buildings, History, Neighborhoods - Shaw, Real Estate - Shaw, Renovation | 8 Comments »

IMG_0897

It’s nice to see the building at 9th and T Streets, NW all fixed up again. This building had been in disrepair for many years. It is interesting to note that this building is of historical significance as well. Cultural Tourism DC says:

“Location: 902 T Street, NW

The Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression, founded in 1903 by concert pianist and educator Harriet Gibbs Marshall (1868-1941), was one of the city’s earliest institutions promoting the arts for children and adults. Marshall worked to inspire and train African American musicians and to encourage them to create and embrace their own heritage of concert music…

The Conservatory began to decline after Marshall’s death in 1941, and it closed in 1960. In 2004 the building is in disrepair.”

The renovation will feature condos. Sad that the school had to close but I’m happy the property has finally been fixed up.

The flier says:

“OPPORTUNITY! LOVELY, SUNNY SEMI-DETACHED BAY FRONT VICTORIAN: 3 BEDROOMS, 1 1/2 BATHS, FULL WALK OUT BASEMENT. HIGH CEILINGS, WOODEN FLOORS, LARGE DINING ROOM & EAT-IN KITCHEN WITH GARDEN VIEW. CEILING FANS AND WALL A/C UNITS. VERY PRETTY FRONT & REAR GARDENS & PATIO, PARKING OFF ALLEY. FULLY FENCED. “AS IS” SALE. SUPERB LOCATION NEAR U ST/LOGAN ON QUIET STREET 2 BLOCKS FROM METRO.”

More info found here and a virtual tour found here.

I really love the floors on the second floor here. I’m also a huge fan of the bay window on the first floor. The location is pretty tight as well. However, I’m always a little concerned by “As Is” sales, but it doesn’t look like it needs much work from the photos. Does $715,000 sound reasonable for this 3 bed/1.5 bath?

The flier says:

“Ultimate perfection is what BlueSkyHousing had in mind when they constructed The Stella Polaris Condominium. A newly constructed sun drenched, 5 Unit upscale Condominium Building. It features 2-BR & 2-FB, open floor plan with 10 ft ceilings, Stainless-Steel Appliances, Granite Counters, MBR Suites. Security System, Video Entry System and Parking. JUST REDUCED by $ 20k!!!!”

More info and photos found here.

I’ve been monitoring this building pretty closely and am excited we get to take a look inside. I think the location is pretty good as there is a lot of movement on the 9th and U St. area and we’ve seen in the last few weeks. This is near the flea market that is going to get redeveloped plus the wine bar, consignment shop, and new tavern that are all slated to come in nearby. But anyway, back to the actual condo. How do you think it looks? How do you think the building itself looks?

Does $499,999 sound reasonable for this 2 bed/2 bath?

I think this is a good looking house. Though, it’s interesting that it is three levels but only has 2 bedrooms. What do you think of the renovations/photos? Does $479,900 sound reasonable?
