But the pictures make every room look so small. Random doors and windows and shelves everywhere; furniture placement would be a bear. The kitchen is...not ideal. And I hate open tread stairs. I feel like this property has a ton of potential, but at $599k it's obviously priced for a flip. Location would be appealing to a single person or DINK; a block from the rowdiest stretch of H St. is not for the faint of heart. On the bright side, there would be no excuse not to roll out of bed and into the farmer's market as soon as it opens on Saturday, before all the good stuff is picked over.

The "extra" square footage is in the basement, as is the tiiiiiny second bath. Agree it would be really hard to furnish. Plus that back deck is kind of sad, and right on the alley. I think it's priced correctly but I wouldn't want it. I'd rather by on of those little 800 sq ft houses with no basement but a better layout and more useful outdoor space (and maybe pop it up if I could).
The Linden Place house from the last page makes this one look like a travesty.
