[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, here's a house near Lincoln Park that's listed at $1.275 million:

I'd take that one in a heartbeat over the one on 8th near H.[/quote]

I love my Capitol Hill home, but you just gave me some real house envy. I bet that goes for way more than asking. [/quote]

Oh wow, that place is great. And to keep this relevant to the thread, it has the following over the 8th & H house:

1. Location -- right next to Lincoln Park but also walkable to Eastern Market, Barracks Row, and still close enough to H to enjoy it
2. A backyard!
3. Amazing layout. That first floor would live so nicely for a family -- room to spread out but also easy flow.
4. Character. The fireplaces! the tile in the entry! The woodwork! This house will always look classic, whereas the 8th and H house will look dated in a couple years.

And it's listed at 50k less. Now that doesn't necessarily mean that much -- sometimes places list low and go over asking while another house lists high and goes under, and in the end the result is the same. But if I were in the market, I'd bid on this and not on the other. Plus, while I think JO Wilson is a good school and probably only going to get better, Payne gets rave reviews from friends.[/quote]

Downside is that Mass Ave has a LOT of traffic, and the house is located on an awkward intersection.[/quote]
