I’ve always liked this little alley court tucked away within a short distance of Eastern Market. At the original list price of $547,500. comments on the original Good Deal or Not (GDoN) post questioned the value of this tiny home. After a nearly ten percent reduction in the price, the final purchase price reflects $507. paid per square foot. This is the highest sale price for a home on Browns Court to date. (630 Browns Court sold in April 2009 for $460,000.)
Additional GDoN discussion turned to the age of the properties on this block. Public records indicate that the subject property was built in 1908 and was extensively remodeled in 1998. The last ownership transfer of this property happened at that time, for $143,000. Phyllis Jane Young with Coldwell Banker was the listing agent back in 1998 and again in 2008-2009.
A little bit of poking around public records indicates quite a bit of new-ish construction activity in this corner of The Hill. While 636 Browns Court is a carriage house built in 1903, neighbor 628 Browns Ct was constructed in 1992, 630 preceded it in 1991, and 632 and 632 ½ came about in 1985.

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.
