Located a stones throw from Connecticut Ave NW, in a lovely Victorian rowhome with only three other condo units, PoP commenters debated how desirable this 2 bedroom duplex was, given that some of the space is at basement level. In addition to location, the unit has some nice features including high ceilings, 2 fireplaces, a patio, and a parking spot.
I found the property history to be quite interesting.
12/31/1998 Back in the day
A mere nine+ years ago this unit sold for $181,000. with a Seller subsidy of $1800. It had been on the market for 167 days.
2001
An attempt was made in August of 2001 to list at $339,000. It was withdrawn and re-listed in September 2001 for $299,000. It sold after 69 days on market for $292,500.
Averaged out over the 7.25 years between sales, even considering a probable dip in value from the height of the market, that’s close to $20,000. appreciation per year.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
