[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saw this on a really pretty one-block street near 13th and H. What do you think of the list price ($829)? There's so little inventory in this area. I'm curious to see what this ultimately sells for.

That’s a GREAT block but oof that house is small. And you can tell how misleading the photos are by comparing one to the next— watch how the brick chimney in the living room becomes a brick wall in one photo trying to make the room look wider. Plus that staircase position is awful.

Whenever I see houses like this listed for over 800, I have to assume that condos start to look pretty good to people. For 829, you could get a really nice condo in this neighborhood. And it would have a better layout. People complain about condo fees but these townhouse conversions tend to have really low fees. The most compelling argument is that their value won’t appreciate as quickly as a SFH.

For me, I’d take a well laid-out condo any day if the week over something this small and awkward.[/quote]

I love how in the same thread we have some people touting 700 sq ft zoned for Maury as family housing and other people calling 1500 unbearably small. This is a cute house and Linden is a cute block. An entire house will win out over a condo every time. Have you been inside some of these conversions? They're so flimsy feeling, like you could fall through the floor at any second.

The main things that might hurt this house at this price is no parking pad, electric stove, and no central HVAC.
