[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three good options today. I expect the Wylie and non-renovated KP one to go over asking.

Kingman Park, zoned for Maury, 3br/2.5ba for $800k:
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/325-18th-St-NE-20002/home/10115073

Wylie St. with a third floor added, 3br/2ba for $749k:

Another Kingman Park, zoned for Maury, and a rare opportunity to do you own renovations without destroying the original details, 3br/1ba for $650k:
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1521-D-St-NE-20002/home/10115675

And just for giggles, here's one for someone looking for a cheap investment property and the quintessential DC landlord experience. "Current tenants do not have lease and do not pay any rent."

I have been in the Wylie house and it's really well done for a 3 bedroom that size. I was skeptical because the footprint of houses on Wylie is so small but I think they pulled it off with a smart layout and with not overdoing the pop up. It all feels proportional.[/quote]

Oh that's good to hear. I have a similar house (the "condo alternative" flat-front federal style with two small bedrooms). I've always assumed it wouldn't even be possible to pop on such a small footprint, but maybe I should look into it.[/quote]

Yeah, that's what this was. I would bet the pop-up adds 300-400 square feet. They just did the master suite up there and kept everything proportional (but it's still the only bedroom that can comfortably hold a queen size bed), and didn't attempt a rooftop deck or anything.

I also think they made some smart choices with the stairs on the main level. They shaved the footprint down as much as possible, probably took out at a wall enclosure, and then did a really minimal railing. It helps keep the first floor from feeling boxy and as you can see in the photos, actually allows some light from upstairs windows to flow down. The first floor stairs are usually the biggest issue in layouts of this type of house.[/quote]
