I have more than 1/3 of an acre in DC and a great house but I wouldn’t come close to 11.

I love this house.

I hope they're prepared to wait a long time. At that price point, houses sit, sometimes for years.

But I certainly appreciate that they did a good foundational job with the renos. The property deserves that sort of treatment!

The house is a mishmash of style. But a beautiful mishmash.

I would never want my stove in front of the windows like that. I cook and I can imagine how gross the windows would be in one of month of living there.

Ummm are you the listing agent? .5 Milllion does not warrant 11 million FOUR years later for a reno.

They slightly overpaid in '22 (should have been $4 tops) and then basically deconstructed it. Where they did "renovate" those are nothing more than the cheapest big box finishes. No way should this be out of the $4s.

You know nothing about it, then.

Is it really a house if you have three kitchens in three different buildings? More like a compound, no?

This is like a dream house for me. Although I don’t like the open shelving in kitchens — it’s not practical for storage although it’s pretty in pictures. And I’m having trouble counting to 8 on the bedrooms. It looks like part of it is maybe a separate guest house? Might be nice if you have adult children working in the city.

A suite over the garage and a suite in the pool house, each with a kitchen, so basically condos, hence my “compound” comment.

Thoughts about stove in front of windows?

The thing about spending 5M renovating a 4M house in a very niche style is you can’t expect to get much return on it. I’m sure there’s a buyer for it but not likely at that price.

I have a foursquare on 1/3 acre, and I'm trying to figure out how they managed to squeeze a pool, the house and two other buildings into that space. It's a nice house, though.

It's a bigger lot compared to other houses

Look at the satellite image with property lines drawn over it, it will explain why.

I absolutely love it, downloaded some of the photos for my "dream house" build in a few years. The tone is lovely.
