Re-reading my comment, it probably doesn't make sense to say that the parking spot wasn't...
PoP, forgot to mention the price! For 500k, that’s pretty good for DC home prices. But with the lack of photos it’s tough to tell of the quality interior (there’s 1 shot, but it’s overexposed and blurry, at least there isn’t a family eating dinner in the room).
That tax seems high to me. Is it right or is it being taxed at the vacant rate. I pay less than that now on a place assessed at a higher value.
An in-between possibility: It might be getting taxed at its fully assessed value, without the homestead deduction.
The tax isn’t high at all. With no homestead deduction and a residential tax rate, the tax implies an assessed value of about 297k. With the homestead deduction, about 365k.
Exactly
Not sure I’d call that “Capitol Hill,” but it seems like a pretty good price for that location.
That’s an understatement. This place isn’t remotely near Capitol Hill. Lies like that undermine any trust in the seller’s realtor.
It is in Eckington.
who called it Capitol Hill? This is Eckington and it’s probably a good deal considering what’s coming up near Rhode Island and first… throw in a pharmacy and it’s a done deal. 2 pizza places, a neighborhood public house (FANTASTIC watering hole) a to be thai/japanese spot, a yoga studio, Field to City, several cafe’s and 2 dry cleaners… not too shabby….. now, let’s see the inside!
What does Finished Full Day Basement (stairs only) mean?
PoP, how come the map is now just an image instead of the old Google Maps embed? That was very useful!
+1. I liked being able to click on a Google Map and move around to see where the nearest Metro, etc. was.
I miss that too!
Unfortunately the maps were starting to slow down the load times of the site. If you click the listings hyper link above (or sometimes I write “more info here”) there is also a map that you can zoom in and out of. Is that helpful?
Yay Frog is back!
I’ll give it a thumbs down. Connected to transportation? Other than some bus lines, what else? Red Line 8 blocks away? And your on the wrong side of the Bloomingdale boom, so forget that. Reno 2004 pretty much guarantees it was a flip hack job and will need tons of work.
Transportation arteries, that is. I think they’re talking about how it’s easy to get out of the city from this area via: Rhode Island, 50, 395, North Capital.
$470k? It’s hard to tell, with so few pictures.
the nice thing about this place is that you won’t have to go far to get your drugs.
green line is 5-7 minutes away….. Shaw/Howard U station
Google Maps says it’s a 19-20 minute walk to Shaw-Howard Univ. Metro (or 11 minutes by bus).
it’s closer to the rhode island avenue station.
it’s a whole BLOCK away from the “Bloomingdale Boom”… that’s not bad
Seems like this place might be good if you were driving to work… but being directly on Rhode Island Avenue, I imagine it would be NOISY.
It’s not all that close to any Metro station, which I’d perceive as a disadvantage.
What is a “full day basement”?
green line, not too far…. y’all are acting like this is way down RI Ave… it’s just past North Capitol…
it’s a 10 minute walk to the red line. and rhode island avenue isn’t very loud. at least not on top of the hill there.
the problems with this area are gangs and drugs. that’s it. big problems, sure, but the other things mentioned are incorrect.
Google Maps is saying it’s a 16-17 minute walk to the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station.
So it’s closer to the Red Line than to the Green Line, but not by much.
that’s not correct.
Seems kinda high to me. Most renovated front porch row houses in Eckington, Edgewood, Brookland, etc. go for aroun $400k.
