This 2 bed/2 bath is going for $549,900 ($280 monthly condo fee.)
How is that a 5 minute walk to the metro? I mean, it’s not far. But I’m so sick of these listings lying about distances. It’s not like we can’t just google map it.
Agreed. 10 minute walk would certainly be justifiable in my book, but its more of a 5 minute run then walk.
It’s a great location so why does the realtor feel the need to blatantly lie about the proximity to the metro? Why are realtors so despicably dishonest?
Setting aside the price, does anyone else find it weird that the ad touts a feature that’s illegal in DC?
I’d guess that most of us who have decks have grilled on them, but technically it’s not allowed.
Yeah, it does seem a little odd to advertise it and include a picture with a grill.
More like the kind of thing you mention orally to people who see the home, with an acknowledgement that “while illegal, it’s been known to happen”.
Two deal killers for me: 1) basement bedrooms; and 2) no parking.
I wouldn’t really consider that a gourmet kitchen. Pretty small with an electric stovetop.
This is a weird thing to say but the place just looks ugly to me. I’m sure it’s a good price considering the neighborhood, space, etc. but the inconsistent finshes and paint colors make me want to turn away in horror.
I know that DC has some pretty crazy housing rates, so I don’t need to be reminded, but…
“Pay over half a million dollars to sleep in a basement.”
That might be crazy to pay half million for a basement. But you’re begging the question. What leads you to believe it’s a basement?
On closer inspection, it looks like they just did the shades so that people can’t peep in, but light still comes in. My bad. Still don’t understand the real estate market.
This is all on one level. It looks like it is ground floor, but not basement. Overpriced if it is a ground floor apt w/ no parking.
