[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow to all but $820k for the 2/1 is unbelievable. It will need another $100-$200k to update it. Most other houses this style have added at least a half bath, if not another full bath (see the 2br/2.5ba listings above). You can see so much water damage on the walls in almost every room. The front and back patios are in horrendous condition. The basement is the setting of nightmares. Just wow on every count. But the location exactly halfway between Stanton and Lincoln Parks and a 10-minute walk to Eastern Market is pretty swell.[/quote]

Is this in the part of Capitol Hill that limits expansions? What are the chances this was bought by a flipper who will pop it up or pop it back, turn it into a 3br/3ba, and sell it for $1.5 - $2M? [/quote]
That is a fantastic location that's maybe worth the sale price even for a small place in dire need of updates.  I'm guessing that the Capitol Hill Historic District rules will prevent any pop-up that's visible from the street, though (at least, I hope so).  Popping it back might be an option, but I think it's also pretty tough to expand the footprint of CH rowhouses.[/quote]

You MIGHT be able to build back, but the neighbor on the side with the windows would have to be on board, which is hard to imagine.

Location is fantastic. Best bet would be to finish the basement.[/quote]

Can the neighbor with windows actually stop the build back? I don't think they can.[/quote]

I think what they can object to is windows on the addition that look into their windows.  Vaguely remember something about this.  [/quote]
