[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A shame about the kitchen. You can tell from the photos that it's not a great reno, but it's particularly unfortunate that they didn't at least scale it the house.

The basement is a bummer too, though more understandable. Digging out a basement for the extra ceiling height is a really annoying project for what is basically bonus space. A bad kitchen reno is weird to me because it's not that hard to do a tasteful one on a budget. If you are going to do it, might as well do it right.[/quote]
Something else that's had to tell from the photos (although you can sort of see it in pictures 18 and 21 of the listing): there's a pantry right behind the kitchen stools, with maybe two feet of clearance.  I'm not sure a person could get into that pantry without moving the chairs.

It's a shame.  Someone spent a ton of money on that Viking stove, and now it's more of a negative than a positive IMO. [/quote]

I don't know.  For a lot of people the high-end appliances might make up for the lack of space.  The eat-in feature is nice and not always doable in an old row home.

Wow - I’m surprised that for that location and space it is under a million...but, yes, that kitchen is horrendous!  Did someone say, let’s get cheap cabinets and do the worst possible layout with the most expensive appliances?  That’s terrible.  We live several blocks away (that is to say also in a row house) and I can think of several better kitchen layouts!!!!!  Ugh.  I’m like the PP who said I would rather they kept the old kitchen so I could do it myself.[/quote]
