[quote=Anonymous]Have a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, side hall colonial in Chevy Chase DC built in 1936 that I plan to sell in late 2024/early 2025 after living here 30+ years. It is very well maintained, but completely unrenovated except for finishing the 3rd floor (bedroom and sitting room with mini-split AC/heating) and a small sunroom addition on the back. Kitchen and bath are original and basement is unfinished. All new copper pipes.  Downstairs woodwork and all upstairs doors are original chestnut.  Backyard is large and flat so there is room for an addition.  I would love to sell to a family vs a developer. Before I get advice of realtors, what does DCUM say about how to prep for sale?  Standard painting, floor refinishing and general spruce up or more?  I assume that any buyer would renovate substantially. Everyone on DCUM trashes unrenovated houses while complaining about being priced out of the neighborhood. This house could be a way to get a better price for someone interested in a project.  What is worth doing before putting on the market if you would be interested in a house like this?[/quote]
