[quote=Anonymous]We're still talking about the place on 13th listed for 950k, right?

The powder room issue is not a deal breaker for me but would factor into my decision to not put an offer into that house. If the school boundary was better, it wasn't right off of H Street (too close, IMO, I want another block or so buffer), it had a better kitchen and/or bathrooms (all dated), and the interior layout was better, then I wouldn't let the lack of powder room bother me. But all of those things are problematic (not terrible, just not awesome) which means that then I'm like, "plus guests have to go upstairs or down to pee..." It's not a huge deal but it's just another strike against. I think most buyers will overlook 1-3 issue like that, but not 5 (school, location, layout, dated kitchen/baths, no main floor bath).

I don't know why we're getting fixated on the bathroom thing when I think the ugly kitchen, poor school, and potentially unpleasant location are the bigger issues at that price point.

I do like the front facades on that row of houses on 13th though -- I enjoy walking down that block for that reason and we always look at houses for sale there out of curiosity. But I've never seen one I really liked.[/quote]
