How can a house be called a bungalow with 6 bedrooms and 5,000 sf? Isn't a bungalow supposed to be a small cottage?

Tax assessments in DC aren't an especially good indicator of market value.

That's good, because the house is in Cleveland Park.

There is someone that will buy that house. I wish I could afford to buy it myself! That is truly a house with character. Actually, I would move back into the city if I could have that type of house with that type of land!

And where are you writing us from today, OP? Fairfax Station maybe? Your post kinda suggests you don't know a whole lot about the Cleveland Park Historic District.

Sometimes when I'm bored I go on Manhattan chat rooms and tell everyone they're delusional that they -think- they're gonna get One. Million. Dollars. for a studio apartment in the Village, OMFG can you believe the idiocy?!?!? A studio apartment should cost $125,000 in Silver Spring, Md.!!!!!

No I don't really do that. You should also probably stick to what you know.

for that price I would at least expect a nice kitchen.

My guess is the amount of land.

A true a&c bungalow is also unique in CP. The kitchen is pretty pathetic, though. I'd $1.8m.

It does have over 5,000 square feet and 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths. The size must be deceiving from the outside. Kitchen needs to be updated though.

Really? Are people in DC so delusional?


I'm curious - how much do you think it will sell for?


$1.5m.

It's almost a 1/2 acre on Macomb.
