[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To go with some of the other "north of H, south of Florida" offerings we've been discussing, what about this one:

https://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/719-L-St-NE-20002/home/9900926

It's smaller than some of the others available in the immediate vicinity, but it has more of that "original charm" people seem to like. I am a little wary of that platform deck in the backyard, but otherwise like it. And any rowhome for less than $700k is going to catch my eye. I won't be surprised if this is under contract within the next few days.[/quote]

That house is Tiny (with a capital "T")! I mean like 12 feet wide tiny. It has one bathroom and there is no earthy way to add another given its size.  They've also engaged in some fancy photography because the house and yard are dwarfed by a monstrosity on 8th Street that was built several years ago (still no clue how they got it permitted).[/quote]

Well I'd have to see inside to get a better sense, but at 1000 square foot I wasn't assuming it was exactly spacious inside. Still seems like a good option for a condo alternative because of the price and all the outdoor space. I also like that it's unrenovated but livable -- that's a nice combo for a single person or couple who wants a project house to work on for a few years.

It's very close to that house at 8th and K that people like but has had multiple price drops and been sitting for a while (now listed at 565k). This one, to refresh memories:

It will be interesting to see what happens to these two given proximity. 933 8th is smaller but updated (though at a very noisy intersection), 719 L is slightly bigger but unrenovated (and on a quieter street, though further from H). But both small houses in the same part of the neighborhood. Right now, more than 100k difference in list price. [/quote]

Thought it was time to revisit this discussion. 8th Street house sold last year. 719 L still on market. [/quote]
