This house has been on and off the market for about 3 years. With different realtors. Every so often I’ll see some people living there (squating??) and even less frequently, someone will come by and do some repairs. I can’t wait til someone buys and restores it. It will do a lot for a block that is notorious for drug dealing. (The house across the street, in particular.)

I used to walk my dogs past that house every day when I lived in Mt Pleasant. Always reminded me of Grey Gardens and I was always hoping it would magically go on the market for a fraction of what they ARE asking for it so I could buy it myself.

And to whomever said there are no tile roofs in DC — another example. Also? Has this person never been on New Hampshire Ave north of Grant Circle? There are lots of tile roofs in DC.
