A house with four entrances

[Anonymous]

Now I've seen it all.

- The backyard fenced-in entrance
- The garage entrance
- The front door
- The side door that looks like a front door


WTF?

That is a tremendously cramped and oddly shaped layout. Bleh.

Its an overpriced grey flip but 3-4 entrances is normal. We have a small house with 3 entrances.

Why does the listing say 1,790 sf and the description says 3,400?

Does the side door get them the Crittendon address, versus 8th St.?

I didn’t click on your link but 4 doors to the outside seems normal...

Multiple entrances don’t bother me unless they are facing the same direction. I hate houses with two front doors facing the street.

I've seen 3, never 4 in the District. In fact its super-rare to get a built-in garage in D.C. at all - so this house is definitely...special. They should have just got rid of one of the street-facing doors. My vote is the side one.

I bet there were multiple families/renters living there at one time. The landlord knocked down the partitions and walls so it looks like 1 house for an easier sale.

I never got the point of those. One of my friends lives in one and the 'main' door is just facing overgrown vegetation and no one uses it.

My parents' house is large and has 8 entrances. This always made me super-nervous. It's out west and there are a ton of sliding glass doors.

I think they must have done an addition, with a layout change but were too lazy to close up the unused entryway. Just a guess, but I scratched those off our list.

I like ours as I can go directly into the kitchen.

Yup our house has a front door, side door by driveway (no garage), back door off the kitchen and door from the basement. Not WTF at all.

My house in DC growing up had a front door, back door garage door and basement door. My little townhouse in Petworth had a front door, basement door (to the back yard) and kitchen door (to the deck which lead to the stairs to the back yard). The end units in our block had side driveways with another door.

That is an ugly house, but not a weird number of doors.
