Closed for $690,000. That is *quite* the discount from the listing price of $800k, and lower than I figured even a burned out shell would go for on this block. I feel like we deserve to know what was wrong with this house. I know someone here knows who bought it ... get them to spill the beans.[/quote]

Am I the only one who doesn't get the fascination here with Emerald St.?  I live nearby and walked over there recently and was seriously underwhelmed...  Houses right on top of the (narrow) street, small lots with it being sandwiched in between two normal streets, no old growth tall trees that you see on most blocks, and really close to the starburst intersection.  It looked like something out of the Wire but some of the houses had been flipped.  YMMV.[/quote]

It’s cute and has a nice sense of community but I agree that it isn’t exactly beautiful. Some other streets (such as Linden Place have a similar set-up but better houses and more charm. [/quote]

It's a one-block historic district, so you know you'll never end up with a hideous pop-up next to you. The narrow street is a huge plus -- much less through-traffic and fewer loiterers than neighboring blocks. [/quote]
