[quote=Anonymous]Hooray!  There are listings to trash—I mean talk about—again!  Looks like there's a lot in Hill East, with one near H street and not much at all in Capitol Hill proper yet.

[quote=Anonymous]This one seems more like a tract townhouse built in Herndon in the 1990s than a Hill-adjacent rowhouse.

The interior style (to the extent that word even applies) is totally suburban apartment building.  Still, I don't see much that's offensive, either, just a bit dated, characterless, and blah.  Someone who thinks that looks good will grab it over asking price.

Also, I had to check that this house wasn't right next to it:
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/715-8th-St-NE-20002/home/9902425

It has that same odd entryway style as the house next door the the one posted above, but it's two blocks away on 8th.  It's basically the same size plus an in-law suite.  It's been sitting on the market for a month at a dollar under $1 million.  Both these houses were built in the early '90s, which explains the '90s Herndon look.

[quote=Anonymous]Partially renovated 2/1. Bold move to use the backsplash tile throughout all of the kitchen, but I kind of like it. Might be too close to DC jail for comfort.

Wow, that is a bold kitchen design choice.  And is the stove up on blocks?  Plus, there's only window AC and the floors are in bad condition.  It's not the best condo alternative I've seen.  Still, you don't see a lot even in Hill East at that price anymore and it's not far from a Metro Station.  But I suspect the condition of the house, combined with "quirky" kitchen design and low upside potential for a flipper, means that this might sit for a bit.

[quote=Anonymous]Non-descript renovation but good price for a 3/1 halfway between Lincoln Park and RFK Stadium.

That oval-window door!  It's the sure sign of an indifferent flip.  And sure enough, the inside looks like it was last renovated when it was flipped in 2002.  But the price is okay.  This will probably go fairly quickly.

[quote=Anonymous]Modern townhouse-style condo. Good option if you need 3/3 for $700s.

I kind of like this one.  At least it's not a gutted 1920s Victorian.  The open upstairs (where the obligatory Peloton bike is—well, one of them, anyway; this has two??) looks cool, but I'd rather have the extra floor space and some sound dampening between there and the LR.  Still, it's got style (and parking).  Not sure about the location, though.

[quote=Anonymous]Fully renovated near Potomac Ave and Congressional Cemetery.
https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/1502-E-St-SE-20003/home/9919157[/quote]
Ugh.  I am really not a fan of that kitchen—or the interior design in general.  Too much white, too little character.  Kind of small for the price, too.

[quote=Anonymous]Cute little alley house with the nonsensical Faison listing touch.

I'm generally not a fan of alley houses. but this one seems...okay?  [/quote]
