[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 3bed/3.5bath on 12th near H for less than a million:

Some really pretty features, including the windows and entryway. The stairs to the lift in the master look insane, but the idea of a lofted office in the main bedroom appeals to me at the moment. Too much carpet— I wonder if the hardwood is still under there and if so, what condition. No parking, but a little back patio.[/quote]
I'm not sure what I think of that kitchen.  The upper cabinets don't match the lower, and it looks like they put in a small sink for some reason.  And I'd prefer a gas stove, but I suppose that's a nitpick.

That bathroom with the jet tub looks kind of out of place in an old house.  And yes, too much carpet.  It's like someone had a Victorian rowhome but what they really wanted was something from the turn of the [i]next[/i] century.

I'd personally rather have the basement as a family room space than a rental. I don't see any stairs to the lower level, so it wouldn't be easy to convert it back.

Oh, and "just steps from H street!" isn't quite the draw the agent seems to think it is.  Living walking distance to H street is definitely a plus.  Living right next to H street, not so much IMO.  Although this one probably isn't so close to H that it's a problem.

The office loft in the BR is clever, though, and there's a lot about this one to like.  But there are also more than a few negatives from my perspective.  Still, I suspect this will go quickly, though maybe for not much more than asking price.[/quote]

Under a million, but the main house is only 2 br. [/quote]
