| This on the is just too small (less than 1900 sq ft above ground). I can almost guarantee that someome bought this as a teardown. |

| Wow, I think it looks nice. |

| It’s odd…a semi-detached home right off CT Avenue and Jenifer street NW just sold for $1MM (like last week) and it needs a complete renovation. |

Kitchen and baths are gut jobs.
The photos are nicer than it actually is. Large purchase items will be up soon. Alley driveway might be issues with easement/shared ownerships |

Kensington is not Chevy Chase. |

| The fact that it is hideous with zero curb appeal is a factor. |

Property records plus google suggest it's a fed + think tank couple, so unlikely a teardown. It would be a challenging lot for a builder anyways. |

| It looks like a raised ranch where you have to go upstairs to get to the kitchen everyone hates those. |

That one is almost on Connecticut Ave. |

| Because it is in Maryland. Can now pick up bargains in md compared to northern va. |

| Two "bedrooms" are in the basement, and the layout wastes a lot of space with that "sitting room." |

| It sold for $150,000 more than last sales price 6 years ago. Hardly cheap. In DC condos sell for less than 2019 prices in some sections. |

Parts of nova seem to be struggling too (Falls Church feeding into Justice / Falls Church High, S Arlington also seeing price decreases, etc to name a few) but it does seem like the premium nova areas are still holding strong + seeing price escalations whereas in moco you’re seeing slippage in CC, Bethesda, etc. |

For me, a few personal dislikes. The ugly style gambrel(?) roof. That would be a non-starter.
Second, the topography. It looks like 2 bedrooms on the front door entry level. 3 on the top level, with living in-between. No thanks. I also don't want to go around the block and access an alley to get in and out of my house every day. However, someone willing to overlook these things gets a great deal in a nice CC neighborhood. |

| It’s ugly on the outside. Inside is not bad. Many people with kids wouldn’t like 2 bedrooms on the top floor and 2 in the basement. |
