[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in one of those in downtown Bethesda.

OK, not quite. We bought a fixer-upper and gutted most of the house. So the exterior still looks like the shabby Dutch colonial it always was - full of "character" and "charm" - and the interior is a decorator's dream, if I do say so myself.
DH gardens a lot.
Total: $800K, not counting tearing our hair out because of the unreliable workers.

In our neighborhood, only one small house was redone high-end and sold for about 1M+.

So I would say you are in the right price range, but such houses are quite rare. You might have to supervise a gut job yourself. Pro: you can suit your taste and live in your dream house ever after. Con: dealing with contractors is awful, however reputable (expensive) the firm.

There are some great PROs of doing this but it also comes with major headaches.  We just did a master bath gut with a designer and learned a lot more than I ever wanted.
We may have to go this route as we want to get as close to our wish list as possible for once....[/quote]
