Nice sized lot; I think it's a tear down.

<900 sq ft house on over 10k sq ft lot in Bethesda? Tear down no question.

10,000 square feet is actually a pretty small lot - that's less than 1/4 of an acre. No way would I pay $675k for a small lot in the WJ district. Even if you put one of those crappy NDI things that someone on here keeps hawking you are well over $1 million. You can get something nicer for that.

$675 in the WJ district (Wyngate) is desirable, but this house isn't desirable. I think I'd consider it a tear down, but I think it's a shame because only someone truly affluent will be able to afford this.

I like the house. Needs remodeling but that is not a shack. Now, mine was a shack when we got it. That is far nicer.

In my neighborhood in the BCC district 5,000 sq. foot lots are going for over a million so I think this is a large lot comparatively speaking.

Agree. 10,000 sq ft is a huge lot inside the Beltway in Bethesda.
Our "lot" was nearly $700k.

My lot is 8800 sq ft inside the beltway in Bethesda and I will tell you it's small. There is about 16 feet between houses on each side, which is not very much - it's basically 8 feet from the lot line. Our lot is smaller than many so a 10,000 sq ft lot is not huge, even in Bethesda.

That is a large lot for inside beltway!

the house is NOT a shitshack. I would buy it and bump out the back. expand the kitchen, family room areas as well as master.

buy it for $600K, add $250K for the addition and you are still well under priced for the area.

I think its a steal to be honest.

Will be sold by the end of the week.

That's a cute little house. The kitchen needs to be updated, and the paneling in the basement needs to go, but I like it. I wonder what the bathrooms look like? I'm assuming they're tiny, but it's weird there's no pictures of them.

it's marketed as a tear down.

Tear down. Even if you remodel, the layout is small, ceilings are small and the basement isn't pretty. I wouldn't throw 250k into remodeling this. I'd rather tear down and build a 300k NDI home here.

Consider it, that price is hard to come by in Bethesda.
