“loser level” Very nice….

Wow – I know living in the basement is sad, but just calling it the loser level seems like taking honesty in sales a bit too far.
- Anon Spock
  
  Or a typo for lower. Proofreading goes a long way.

  Seriously laughing hahahaha

  Actual LOL.

The roof of the porch seems tilted.

  That’s probably just the gutter that’s tilted so the water gets to the downspout.

“3-4 bed” Nope. It is either a 3 bedroom house or a 4 bedroom house. Not both.
- Anon Spock
  
  3 actual bed upstairs+possible 4th on lower level.
  - Bloomy
    
    loser level.

    If it’s not a legal bedroom, they should not advertise it as such. It’s a 3 bed plus den/finished basement/whatever–not a “3 or 4 bedroom.” Lazy, deceptive advertising.

      At least this one isn’t quite as outrageous as the “1- or 2-bedroom apartment” from the other week that wasn’t even a true “1-bedroom plus den” — the second “bedroom” option was the living room!!
    - HaileUnlikely
      
      They should just make the headline “Illegal 4th Bedroom Included!”
      - HaileUnlikely
        
        “Illegal 4th Bedroom on Loser Level!”

The house seems pretty nice, but that stretch of North Capitol is really busy. I am not sure I’d like to live right on it, especially at that price.

Damn, I wish someone would for once renovate an historic old town house with a bunch of bland, open-plan modern aesthetics and recessed lighting.

Oh wait — everyone literally did, every time!
