But this certainly isn’t the house I’d get if I had $3 million.

If I had 3 mil to spend, I'd just rebuild mine.

Well, DC is a very transient place. You can't do that if you are leaving Kansas City, or Oakland, or Biloxi, or wherever, for a job here.

I think it's worth $2.5M. Maybe the right buyer will pay as much as $2.8M, but there is no way anyone is paying $3M for this.

5000+ sf and it has a stacked washer and dryer?

I noticed that washer/dryer too. I hopefully presume that there’s a big one in the basement and that small one is for the upstairs. I’ve had a stacked one before in condo that was full sized and the one there doesn’t even have a full sized dryer.

I don't mind the outside, though it's not my taste. The kitchen isn't what it should be for a 5400SF home.

This is a listing that would have benefited from staging, even virtually.

This. It's one of the type of places that's going to be hard to imagine for the people shopping for standard cookie cutter inventory in this price range. It needs to attract a type of buyer to appreciate it, but you have to help them see it. And there will be a bit more effort to stage it since it's not the style of the modern construction at all.
