Is the orange counter top going to cause this to sit past Memorial day? |

It's less the orange countertop than the fact that this is a small house on a busy road (which isn't a huge dealbreaker for me personally but I know a lot of people here think anything busier than a cul-de-sac is basically living on the Beltway). There also doesn't seem to be a bathroom on the main level, which is another turn-off. |

| The counter is fine - talk about an easy fix if you don't like it. I have a problem with the sink location - staring at a tiled wall while I wash dishes would give me a headache. But the biggest issue I see is the location, on Reno at a busy intersection. I know people will come on here and say "it's not a busy intersection no big deal...", but it IS an intersection and Reno is a busy road in general. |

OP here, thanks for fixing the link.
It seems set back far enough from Reno, and has the parking between the house and the road to help with the noise? But I guess that's only part of the location problem here. |

Ok, I know this is off topic, but, I keep hearing comments about the view from the kitchen sink and I’m really fascinated that it seems so many people actually wash dishes without looking at them. I mean, maybe I’m doing it wrong, but I almost always have my head down most of the time scrubbing away and checking to see if they’re clean and rinsed. My DW could be doing a strip tease in front of me for all I care, but I’m in the dish zone! How do you people do it?!? |

If it weren't right on Reno, it would have sold quickly. That's a pretty good location in terms of Metro accessibility and retail, you have your choice between two areas (Van Ness and Tenley). |

Similar ideal in Cleveland Park: https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/3800-Reno-Rd-NW-20008/home/9975392
I prefer the one in North Cleveland Park (and they are priced the same). |

As do I. 3800 Reno is on a similarly busy stretch of road but also isn't as close to other amenities as the one to its north. The lot also is a peculiar shape, and there's no protection from the noise of Reno (which you can see from the back patio because the house is so weirdly shaped). |

3800 reno is a Single family house, and this one is a townhouse |

I can do a podcast but looking out the window seems like a bad idea to me as well. I've had a TV in eye shot of the sink and it was just noise for me. |

It's a pretty good location but for being right on Reno. Reno is so busy and people fly up that section of it. |

I think they're both perfectly close to amenities. They're both half a mile to a metro station (Tenleytown vs Cleveland Park) as well as the Targets and other retail that are near those metros. |

| I think there’s a balance that some don’t strike quite right on amount of renovations and price. Being at an intersection on a busy road is kind of meh but otherwise it looks great. At a lower price point (and perhaps less renovations accordingly), there would be a lot of buyers excited — thrilled even — about a 3 br TH in NW and it would feel like a fair trade off = happy buyer. At this price, though, you have to look around and see that there are other options in say, the close inner burbs, for 200000-300000 or maybe more less and maybe quieter location, better lot, etc. I think for a lot of potential buyers for whom the entry point for even a 3 br townhouse is a stretch, it could be hard to choose this house (if could even afford it). I don’t mind the orange counter and gold(?) tile, but I don’t want to pay for it. So the buyer pool at this price is more limited. |

| 17 days and still on the market. No powder room on first floor, one bedroom is 8x7, the garage is too small to fit a normal sedan. Wonder how long it will sit before they lower the price. |

Open floor plan, unappealing though I appreciate the decor.
Is basement an ADU and/or a completely separate entrance? If so, it seems that leaves only 1 bath for rest of hours which is also unappealing. |
