I find the little sideways duplexes on Pickford Place sort of fascinating. This one, though, seems kind of odd, with that spiral staircase and the two-story dining room.  [/quote]

We owned a place on Pickford about a decade ago, though the layout of ours was vastly different than this one. We had more usable outdoor space (a deck off the side), a better downstairs layout and no spiral staircase (have fun getting mattresses up that). The bedrooms upstairs in this one seem to be bigger than ours were. It was fine when we were newly married and we had a kid while living there, but things got tight *real* quick after that.

I don't understand putting what amounts to an atrium in such a tiny house.

Anyway, DC is crazy so this'll go above asking in like a week. These Pickford houses seem to rarely come on the market, and they're good condo alternatives, even if they're oddly laid out.  [/quote]

One more thing now that I remember it. There's a very narrow alley that runs behind these houses on this side of Pickford, too narrow for cars. But such a low-visibility alley means it's perfect for junkies to get their fix. Mainly they would wander down there from the bus stop at H and 8th, which always was a s---show. No idea if it's still an issue.[/quote]
This just closed for $897,899.  [/quote]

I realize I shouldn't be surprised at what anything goes for these days, but as a former Pickford Place resident who lived in one of those houses for years, paying $900k for what amounts to a tiny shoebox with zero usable outdoor space, questionable use of the interior space and a wholly impractical spiral staircase just makes the mind reel.[/quote]
