Been on the market nearly 2 years now. Way overpriced. Most houses in the area are $1.0-1.5mln range and those are new tear-downs.


I think this house has really good bones, although I'm not interested in the neighborhood. Agree that it seems overpriced.

I love how the listing says "Wont last long." It's been on and off the market multiple times over the past 3 years. I think the 1 bathroom is killing it.


kitchen is completely cut off from the living area of the house. small backyard that slopes toward the house

Seriously? There is absolutely nothing wrong with this house. While I don't know much about prices in that area and couldn't care to for that matter, it's obviously just priced too high, but is that reason to call it out and make fun of it as if there is some horrible problem with it? I'm sure there and plenty of people who don't have a ton of money and could deal with the busier street who would like it. This place would clean up nicely with a little blood sweat and tears put into it.


+1. If the house had been staged properly before being put on the market, it probably would have sold already. $540k for a 3BR/ 1BA house in the Yorktown District, walking distance to Metro, is considered a good deal (regardless of 1092 sf, busy road, or that its EFC Metro not Clarendon).


Agree. I want to rip down all the lacey curtains myself! In a neighborhood marketed to families and young professionals, the staging screams 'I'm old and retired!'. Definitely the biggest problem...including the clutter. WAAAYYY too much clutter.
