This home is located at 6 Grant Circle, NW:
The flier says:
“Owner started renovating but lost energy – his loss is your gain. AC installed, kitchen and baths updated, basement studded out for in law suite – Owner has saved the beautiful woodwork that set this home apart. Elegant home on Grant Circle is just a little sweat equity away – All the hard work is done – now just waiting for your touches.”
You can find more info here and a virtual tour here.
I am a bit biased but I love the location. I would however be a bit daunted at the remaining work that needs to be completed. How much do you think it will cost to finish up all the work? Given that does $369,950 sound reasonable?

Original GDoN Post is: here.
Recent Listing is: here.
I haven’t profiled a condo in a while, so here’s a look at Victoria Court. This property, which was built in 1981, has a total of 12 units and 6 deeded parking spaces. (Deeded parking spaces are favorable in urban markets, where they can theoretically be sold independent of a residential unit.) Located in the vicinity of Dupont Circle, Adams Morgan, and the U Street Corridor, this two bedroom, duplex unit features an updated kitchen, a fireplace, and both a patio and a balcony. This unit did not include a parking space with the sale.
A sales history for Victoria Court exists in the multiple listing system for sales since 1996. I’ve compiled the sales history ordered from lowest sales price to highest, with date of sale shown at the right side of the report, which can be seen here. There is some discrepancy on the data, particularly in the year built date, which is odd since all of the tax records clearly state the date built as 1981.
I’d like to make note that one of the reasons I started including type of financing and amount of down payment is because in previous Good Deal or Not (GDoN) comments, there has clearly been a range of understanding of current financing options. We’ve seen significant changes in the lending industry guidelines over the past couple of years, particularly in terms of higher down payment requirements for conventional loans, the disappearance of second trusts used as a financing strategy to avoid mortgage insurance, the increase in the use of FHA (Federal Housing Administration) loans, and the resurgence of the requirement for private mortgage insurance. Continues after the jump. More… »

My question is a simple one – do you think we’ll get more snow than the Dec. blizzard? I’m putting the over/under at 20″. Is anyone going in to work?
I already received word from Duffy’s located near 9:30 Club (a PoP advertiser) that they’ll be open on Sat. no matter how much snow comes down. So if you guys know or hear of any other places that will be open on Sat. please leave in the comments.
Also don’t forget to shovel your sidewalks and if you have elderly neighbors help them out with their shoveling please.
And finally don’t forget to upload your snow photos to the PoPville flickr pool here.

If you live relatively close and/or aren’t afraid of a mere super snow storm then I’m happy to offer up 5 pairs of tickets to Saturday’s game at the Verizon Center courtesy of DC Lottery. I have to send over your names by noon on Friday. So leave a comment if you wanna go to the game and I’ll announce the winners by 11am in order to have your names emailed to me by noon. And I’ve been told that Villanova is getting to DC early Friday so no matter how much snow comes down the game is on. Thanks again to DC Lottery for providing the tickets.

According to DDOTDC’s twitter account there will be free parking at the DC USA Complex in Columbia Heights. They write:
“District has identified some free parking for residents at DC USA retail center garage after 10pm Friday night.
Residents can park for free at DC USA throughout the weekend. Cars must be moved by noon on Monday to avoid charges.”
Given that the fee for parking on a snow emergency route is $250 plus towing that is a pretty sweet option.
From WMATA:
Metrorail anticipates opening at 5 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 5. and closing above ground portions of the Metrorail system when snow accumulations reach eight inches or higher. Customers riding Metrorail are encouraged to use care and caution on Friday afternoon while entering and exiting Metrorail stations as station platforms may be wet and slippery due to weather conditions.
In the event above-ground rail service is suspended, the modified underground service will operate every 30 minutes as follows:
Yellow Line – Pentagon to Crystal City only
Red Line – Medical Center to Union Station only
Orange Line – Ballston to Stadium-Armory only
Green Line – Fort Totten to Congress Heights only
Blue Line – Ballston (extended to Blue Line) and Stadium-Armory only

All of the stained glass here is from the same house. It was pretty sweet, every single window (even on the second floor) had stained glass above it.

My love of doors benefited the owner of this one. If you look closely you can see they left their keys in the door. It is a great door though.
