“I am really curious to know if you think this house is a good deal or no.
It’s on Euclid between Sherman and Georgia. I stopped by the open house this past weekend and they’ve done a great job with the renovation and kept a lot of the character of the house. There is no backyard – just a deck with offstreet parking underneath the deck in back. And it’s on an alley.
Thoughts? Thanks!”
The property is located at 919 Euclid Street NW and is going for $399,900. The comments say:
“Absolutely stunning renovation with tons of character and historic charm! This three bedroom, two bath home has beautiful restored hardwood floors and woodwork, a brand new chef’s kitchen with granite and stainless steel appliances, a huge deck off of the kitchen and two new bathrooms with travertine tile. The master bedroom is sure to impress- with cathedral ceilings, exposed brick and three closets. The fully finished basement features a third bedroom, full bath and wet bar. The home includes off street parking and is conveniently located one block from Howard U and just a few blocks from U street and Columbia Heights!”
Wow, they had me at wet bar… Seriously, I do think this seems like a reasonable price. Personally, I prefer an end unit and don’t think it’s a big deal that it abuts an alley. I would suggest that you walk around the area a bit to see if you feel comfortable. I’d even suggest that you take the walk to the metro a few times if that will be your mode of transport. I think sellers are probably a bit flexible during these times so if you do put in a bid I don’t think it can hurt to go under asking maybe $350,000 and see what they counter with. What do you guys think?

Your caption in the comments, winner (free PoP t-shirt) announced Friday.

This tattoo is the British Royal Navy insignia of a petty officer. The owner’s grandfather served in the British Royal Navy during World War II and that tattoo is a tribute to him.

The right hand side of the photo should tip you to where this block is. Anyone recognize it?

Pedro Chavez is looking for the community’s support in his opening of Kikos, a restaurant that would reside on Quincy and Spring Road, East of 14th Street. The place would be a rotisserie chicken restaurant that would seat about 50 and would also have delivery and pickup. He said the food would also be on the healthy side and the establishment would be a family oriented one. He hopes to open in December. He needs your support. More on Church parking, CVS, “Stinky” Safeway and 16th Street Heights Parks after the jump. (more…)

And at long last another sweet vestibule. I was going through some vestibule withdrawal there for a minute.
So, just curious, are you all supporters of autumn wreaths?

Speaking of squirrels thanks to a reader for sending this link. We knew squirrels were aspiring burglars and car thieves but now we can add arsonists to the list.

I’m afraid this one doesn’t really speak to me but I respect the effort.
