This is common In Europe

So is warm beer, hairy armpits in women, and showering once a week.

Make 'Merica proud!

The yard is such a disaster was expecting a disaster inside. But actually in good shape. I don't think this is a crazy price, but the laundry under the kitchen counters has to go. Usually it will at least look integrated.

Interesting area, because that is the McArthur school district, which is finally starting to go under construction, but who knows where those kids will go to school in the fall. People are fleeing Alexandria because of the schools and the school board and there are now several houses off of Janneys, King and in Rosemont that have been sitting and not selling.

It's actually very common in older homes.

You couldn't have been that poor if you had laundry in your house!
True poor go to the laundromat....or just beet the clothes against a rock in the creek.

The only real "obnoxious" colors i saw were the yellow and orange in the kitchen. The blue bedroom was a little brighter than I'd like but I wouldn't call it "obnoxious."
Paint is easy and relatively inexpensive.

I didn't know ceiling fans were a bad thing, we love them! We are buying a house that DOESN'T have a ceiling fan in one bedroom, and the first thing we are doing is installing one.

Those streets are in College Park, not Clover. There is no through traffic near that house on Dartmouth because the original developer built a house that cuts off Dartmouth from Taylor Run. There is a small opening referred to as the rabbit hole that people use to walk to Angel Park.

True but it will be a headache to even get in and out of there. For some people NBD but for me for that price it would be. I live close by so that's how I know.

King St to Janney's Lane, left on Cloverway, left on Dartmouth. You are never near Cambridge or Yale.

Warren Buffett is sounding the alarm over inflation.

Many CEOs have reiterated inflation concerns during this earnings season.

It all means interest rates are going to rise, no one believes Powell, and assets are going to get crushed across the board as everything that's massively overvalued is about to get corrected because the gravy train is ending now with inflation getting out of control.

Ah, economics -- the dismal science.

In the fall of 2021, kids zoned to MacArthur ES will continue to attend classes at John Adams ES.

Everything in Rosemont is flying off the shelf including several off market sales. There's one house on King not selling and its a 2+ million spec home built by Kulinsky. There's one other house on Janneys and its basically at Quaker, which is a shitty intersection.

Meh, I've seen way worse for over a million.... Not a complete teardown IMO either. Not cost effective.

Not really. There are two on Russell, one on Glendale, one on W Masonic View, and then those two that aren't really Rosemont (the one on King you mentioned and the one behind it literally right behind the Temple).

Janney and Quaker isn't Rosemont.

People are moving their kids to private or moving, at least where I am (in Rosemont)

It seems overpriced to me (Alx resident) unless the lot is disproportionately large. That neighborhood is nice, but not as expensive per square foot as del ray or rosemont, but this is priced at del ray/rosemont levels.
