[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well this one is an interesting home. I at first thought it was a former restaurant :)

I remember seeing that last year when it was on the market.  They've been trying to sell it for a while.  It's an interesting renovation, but I can't picture myself living there.  I love the eclectic look, but the only way that ground floor works is if someone wanted to open a coffee shop.

This UrbanTurf item has more info about the property.  It was for sale in May, 2019, for $1,070,000:

I guess that's a lesson that an eclectic reno is a bit too niche if it's not your forever home. Also, given they are having trouble selling it the way it is, it shouldn't be too hard to tone it down a bit...starting with the creepy bed in the basement unit.[/quote]

It was an Airbnb. A renovation like this is great for an Airbnb because people will pay extra for the funky character, but since renting a house as a full-time Airbnb is no longer legal in DC, the house is proving difficult to sell.[/quote]

Right - it does seem that given it's difficult to sell, they could scale back on some of the touches without spending too much money to make it more palatable to buyers.[/quote]
