It features a beautiful country kitchen with ample counter space (granite), hardwood floors on the main level, two master bedroom suites on the upper level, and upscale finishes through out. Move in condition.”

This home is a 2 bed 2.5 bath going for $638,499. What do you think of the house itself as well as the price?

I’ve always been curious about these condos because I walk by this building nearly everyday. I think the location is phenomenal. After checking out the virtual tour the condo itself is also top notch. Though, I’m curious to know what people think of open kitchens like this? The asking price is $529,555. I really dislike ridiculous prices like this but do you think the market can support this asking price? What do you think of the condo itself?

Based on comments to the original Good Deal or Not? (GDoN) post, I’m guessing that a few people are going to be shocked to see that this sold at list price less a subsidy toward closing costs. Continues after the jump. (more…)

This is a really interesting home as the title suggests, it is basically one home divided into two. I suppose you could combine it back into one home or rent out half. I guess it makes more sense to rent out half, yeah? What do you think of the home itself? Does $449,900 sound reasonable?
Wow. This mansion is located at 1717 15th Street, NW:

Wow. I’ve often walked by this one and admired the roofdeck as well as the building itself. So what do you think about the house itself. It also has a pretty wow price – $5,000,000. Of course it does have 8 bed and 8 baths…
This condo is located at 1810 California Street, NW:

It’s been a while since I posted just a regular condo. The inside looks pretty nice, with a fireplace and some exposed brick. What do you think of the condo itself? The asking price is $339,000, sound reasonable for this location?
This home is located at 3548 Rock Creek Church Road, NW:
The flier says:
“Spacious brick rowhouse near metro station in the Petworth area. 4 bedrooms on second floor and 1 in law suite with private kitchen and full bath in basement. Hardwood floors.”
More info and photos found here.
Back in February I showed the house on the left at 3546 Rock Creek Church Road which was for sale for $399,000 (3 beds 2 baths). Today’s house located right next door is a bit larger at 4 beds 3 baths. Fortunately we have photos to look at which seem nice but certainly not a recent renovation. The asking price is $575,000. I’m curious what you think about that price but I’m equally curious to hear your advice when the house right next door is for sale? Does the fact that the home is larger warrant such a price discrepancy?
This home is located at 1343 Q Street, NW:
The flier says:
“ABDO redo in 02. End Rowhse. 3 Lvls of Open Space w Top of the Line Finishes. Apprx 2700 sf. 2 Bed/2.5 bths, + Den + Loft w Wet Bar plus 700sf ROOF Terr.

More info and sweet photos here.
Not only is the house sweet but it’s near lots of new spots like Policy and Cafe Salsa. As always what do you think of the house itself? This 2 bed 2.5 bath is yours for $1,299,900.
Ed. Note: A reader sent me a proper house porn post for next Wed. that is ridiculously cool, so hopefully that will absolve me from this week’s rather weak post!
