[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$799k for 3br/2.5ba on Emerald St. This is one of my favorite blocks in the entire city, and I'm bummed nothing was available when I was in the market. The $800k home I ended up buying was smaller and far less charming. I predict this will go quickly and well above asking.

Case in point, see this one nearby, $865k for 3br/1.5ba and underwhelming update choices.

Would you pay $679k for a studio marketed as a one-bedroom loft? The square footage (1250 sq ft) seems massive for a single open room, but the way it's partitioned is so awkward and confining.

Has anyone seen the Emerald Street house? I'm surprised it's still on the market, especially since the other two properties in this post (even the condo!) went under contract pretty quickly. It's just taunting me, being all available now and not when I needed it to be. I'd like for someone to make me feel better by telling me it needs $20k in structural work or something.[/quote]

We have friends who live on Emerald Street, in a house that's laid out almost exactly the same as this one (theirs isn't as freshened up on the inside). They love everything about their street except that it's zoned for Miner (they've repeatedly struck out in the DCPS lottery). That fact alone has them thinking about moving.

As the listing notes, one of the three bedrooms probably is fit for only a crib or for use as an office, so it's really a two-bedroom. It's not a lot of house for $800K, but I also realize the DC market is superheated right now. It's at least a little surprising that it's lasted this long in this environment. [/quote]

Emerald Street is pending.[/quote]
