On the Hill, 16 feet wide is the most common. 18-20 feet wide gives floor-plans so many more options. Such a better feel. 14 wide is pretty narrow, but I've seen some amazing renovations that make it work. 12 is tiny and not common.
Also, 403 9th St. NE with a huge price reduction down to $740K! |
Is that the one that smells like cats? |
That's a feature not a bug!!! |
Pricing in Trinidad is really interesting right now. Surprising number of places asking for close to $1m, and this place is in line with those prices because if it’s size. But you can also find 2 bedroom condos in the less desirable parts of the neighborhood (further from H, more crime, close to Bladensberg or Mt Oliver), for less than 400k. Kind of fascinating. I don’t think they’ll get 1.3, but I think they will eventually get 1.1. I’ve also got my eye on a developer flip down on Morse with some interesting features that I expect to list for a similar amount because of what they’re doing. Very curious to see how that goes, as multiple million dollar homes in the neighborhood is very new territory. |
The linked place is a two-unit property, so it's not an apples-to-apples comparison to most of the other properties we've seen in this thread. |
Wow, this is an interesting property. According to the description, the 1-st floor 2-bedroom unit rents for almost $6000! I find that rather hard to believe ... but if it's true, not a bad deal at all for someone who doesn't mind driving everywhere and has no kids. If it was just a SMIDGE closer to the metro (20 minute walk) I'd say it was a knock-out. |
Also ... I like that the developer did a small multi-unit building! Would like to see a lot more of those as they infill/redevelop Trinidad. Let's get all the way up to 4 units, boys! |
Sold already ... how do I find out how much it sold for? |
Yeah, if it were just a little closer to Metro and to H Street. I can't imagine that's a very pleasant walk back to this place late at night. Also, would inheriting a tenant be a turnoff to some buyers? Is it weird that this place was built just this year, already has a tenant and now is being sold? I honestly have no idea how this part of the market works. |
A tenant that is actually paying $6k/month is a keeper!! I believe that this building was built on a vacant lot. Construction takes less time than you'd think, especially if there is no demolition involved. |
Also, someone is paying nearly $6k/month to rent a place that is not walkable to Metro and is steps from Bladensburg? Ok, then. |
It was. The vacant lot still is on Google Streetview. It seems real narrow, and makes me wonder if this place isn't real narrow, too. |
There is literally no chance on God’s green earth that a 2bed/2.5bath garden apartment a block from Bladensberg Ave is currently being rented out for 6k/mo. Maybe they are trying to say you could rent it for that much? It’s 3k, tops, sorry. And it’s been staged in the photos, so I don’t think it already has a tenant. Nice place though. |
I just reread the description.... I think they mean the total rent for both units is 6k. Be better with your dependent clauses guys! |
