The house will sell itself, it's a shame the listing agent felt the need to lie. There is no master suite, and the den / walk-in closet they're calling a bedroom is not a legal bedroom.

I agree that it will go for well over asking, but close to a million seems high to me. North of H doesn't quite draw the same prices that similar rowhomes south of H get. The rear space is so so tiny—one picture shows what looks like a tomato plant, but how can that plant possibly get enough sun? At least it's backing to a church, noise shouldn't be a problem most of the week. And I'm not so sure that the separate unit in the basement is a feature—yes, it's extra income to offset the mortgage, but it would also mean having to be a landlord, which not everyone wants. And the owners would only have 1,096 sf of living space of their own, with no storage space.

I'd predict high $800s, personally. Maybe low $900s.

. Although this one is south of H…. I predict 950k…

NP - it is north of H.

Thought to myself "wow that's beautiful" as I was going through the pictures, then saw the roof deck and was blown away... bet it will go for more.

It used to be one of those cute one story houses on the Hill, but a developer bought it, gutted it and turned it into a 5 bedroom that is a two bedroom apartment on the first floor and a three bedroom house on the second and third floors. Selling it all together for $1.9 million.

Setting aside the new exterior (which is a total eyesore on a block full of small 2 bedroom homes), I'm curious what people think of the developer's strategy. I just can't imagine wanting to live only in the 2nd and 3rd floor of a house I'd paid $1.9 million for - having to go upstairs, etc. But then the first floor feels unnecessarily nice for an income rental. Perhaps it works for a multigenerational family? But how many of those are there shopping on the Hill at this price point?

I find this house REALLY odd. It definitely sticks out from those around it. I love those adorable little houses, so I find the whole strategy weird (but maybe there's a market for it).

I was about to say...isn't this VERY under-priced? This is very cute.
