[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2br / 1.5ba for $839k. I can't tell if this place is really cramped and dated or has cool features because the shabby chic furnishings overpower all the pictures. I kind of think we're beyond the heights of the pandemic when 2br flips were selling for $800k+, and this one clearly hasn't been renovated in a while. Curious about what you all think.

“Shabby chic” is putting it kindly, but it’s clear that the house hasn’t been staged (or even de cluttered), so I won’t make fun of how someone lives.

The house itself…yeah, that’s pretty cramped. It’s clearly not a flip, but it’s not priced  as pre-flip, either.  And while I don’t think everything that’s dated needs updating just for the sake of updates, that kitchen isn’t in great condition.  The cabinets look to be in really bad shape.  The outdoor space is great, and I do like the kind of funky downstairs layout, but the spiral staircase will turn a lot of people away.  The location is fine, but not worth a full Capitol Hill premium.  IMO, the right price for a 1,200sf row house in this condition starts with a 7.

I was amused at, “The home needs some TLC but is perfectly livable,” in the (way too long) description.  Just what I’ve been looking for: “perfectly livable.”[/quote]
