Here is real 1.8M home

Wrong side of Clarendon.
No yard.
Terrible finishes - will look dated and crappy in 10 years.

I agree. The other poster must be the realtor. I like the manafort's daughter's house much more. It has a bigger yard, better layout. Your house has small rooms! A dining room that can only hold a 4-person dining table? why bother? you have the same 4-person kitchen table. It's a weird layout and has absolutely no yard. The front is weird too.

I remember when it was on the market and go by it all of the time.

Me too. We went in during an open house and it's a very strange house. Also the value took a huge hit when they built the big building right behind it.

It seems like there’s a pretty good chance she knew the money was dirty. Remember her hacked texts about “blood money”? https://www.politico.com/story/2017/02/manaforts-u...ed-qualms-hack-suggests-235473

“In one March 2015 exchange that appears to be between the two sisters, Andrea Manafort seems to suggest that their father bore some responsibility for the deaths of protesters at the hands of police loyal to Yanukovych during a monthslong uprising that started in late 2013.

“Don't fool yourself,” Andrea Manafort wrote. “That money we have is blood money.”

In another hacked exchange a few months later with someone else, Andrea Manafort wrote that her father’s “work and payment in Ukraine is legally questionable.””

All of this. You can't accept blood money and not run the risk of the feds coming for it eventually.

It's such a special house. What a shame it's been tainted by those ugly people.

No, it's not. It's a humdrum American four-square from the 1910s. Nothing particularly special about it. There are hundreds of thousands of these houses across America. And this one has been so remodelled inside that one can barely call it "historic," let alone "old."

I really don't care who the Manaforts are or that he did some money laundering but if you want to talk about houses being tainted by "ugly" people then you need to take long, hard look at many amazingly beautiful houses..... as well as keep your comments for angry wackos on the political forum.

Daddy bought her that pretty house, now everything is ruined. Boo hoo.

Some data to back that up?

Thanks so much for the helpful advice, really useful and practical.

Doesn’t make her entitled to profits of his money laundering.

Agreed. Still, it's sad for her.

Aha! She could buy her own house!

True. Lots of people in this area have parents buy their homes - I don't judge even though I paid my own way. Still, I think it is sad that someone's dad might have used a house purchase for a child in order to launder money.

I don't care if parents buy their kids houses. I just can't work up any sympathy when it gets taken away. Easy come, easy go.

I get what you are saying, but I have compassion for her. It's a shitstorm of her father's making and she loses her home.

But the market value would be higher. I wouldn't be surprised if they could get close to $2M. That's a nice house on a huge lot in a great location.

Yup. The Redfin estimate is $2.2M - sounds much closer. Nicer pics too.

Redfin's basing that on the fact the current owner's shell overpaid in the first place. It sold for $100,000 less than asking in 2012 and a month latter was put back on the market for $300,000 over what they paid. No idea why the daughter/shell agreed to what couldn't have been a very nice flip but they did.

Which begs the question - how many homes are selling at 'market rate' to foreign investors or blood money rich contractors and not at the actual value of the home? It's great for the former owners who cashed in, just wondering what the the future buyers are going to think.

IMO the Redfin estimate sounds pretty close just looking at the house/lot/location. No even taking previous sales price into consideration.

In your opinion is it worth what they paid for it? Honestly I'm underwhelmed by all the details - there's no privacy outside, at least four different color woods throughout the home, and everything except the kitchen looks dated.

Looks like these are old photos. The attic wasn't renovated in these.
