impossible to narrow down without pics of overall condition, street view etc.

Which end of AU Park? Houses are definitely cheaper if they are further from the metro, and probably cheaper if they are too close to the metro (crime, etc.).

[Anonymous]

You've left off some key information. Without these, you can't even begin to gauge price:

1. Most important: where is the location? How close to metro? Busy street? Corner lot? Neighboring buildings/lots?

2. Size: What is the square footage of the home (basement included?) and of the lot?

3. Age of home?

4. Central AC? Heated air? Radiators? Oil? How old?

5. Layout? Open kitchen/family? Separate dining? Gallery?

I'd guess somewhere between $800,000 and $1.2 million depending on all the above.

I'd say @ 800k+ at a minimum. Come on people. The only thing selling for less than that in AU park would have to be a completely unrenovated rambler on the western edge near Turtle Park like Sedwick St., etc. or a block or 2 from Wisc. Ave--in which case that wd be Tenleytown not AU Park. AU Park houses are crazily in demand, as always.

kitchen open to dining room (not an eat in kitchen) so the only table space is the "dining room"

9-950k.

how big is the yard? Everyone here expands as soon as the move in it seems. If there's a lot of room to expand with a deep lot; 1- 1.1mil, easy peasy

[Anonymous]

An extra 200K for the ability to expand? I live in AU Park and 80% of the houses have the lot size to expand and rarely does a house go over 1 million. You could build another 10,000 square feet onto the back our ours. Does that make it worth 1.5?

[Anonymous]

Given kitchen and baths are nothing special and 2000sqft is basement included i think 900-950 is right.

[Anonymous]

I would say $1.1...kitchen is done but buyers might want to re-do a bath or two. Specifics (lot, street) could add or subtract $50k. Nothing decent is going for under $950 right now.

really???

we have a really nice 4 bed/3.5 bath AU Park home bought for about $995 in 2008. Great lot, kitchens and all baths renovated, great curb appeal, meticulously maintained, fantastic backyard, finished basement and attic, detached garage. We could sell for $1.2?

Comp? Sold for $800k six months ago. On this basis $860+ for the property you describe.
