We debated whether or not this home at 23 Rock Creek Church Road was a good deal or not back in October when it was on the market for $325,000. Thanks to a reader for sending the update that it had sold. And it sold for $209,766. Holy cow that seems like an amazing deal, yeah?
This home is located at 952 Florida Ave, NW.
The flier says:
“IN THE HEART OF NW DC, AND NEW DEVELOPMENTS, REAR PARKING, END UNIT, HARDWOOD FLOORS, ALL BRICK STRUCTURE.”
Sadly no interior photos but more info can be found here.
This home is listed as a three bedroom two bathroom with 983 square feet.
It’ll be tough to make the call without interior photos but for this size and location do you think $375,000 sounds reasonable?

Pretty sweet. But is it sweet enough to go for $839,900 (there has been a 30k reduction in price)?

Unit A is going for $649,000 and Unit B is going for $729,000 (a 20k price reduction for B). They are both 3 bedrooms 2.5 bathrooms. Do these prices sound right? After looking at the virtual tour – how do you think the conversion turned out?

Now in the house porn editions I’m more interested to hear what you think about the house itself but for those that are in the know do you think $1,275,000 seems reasonable?

We once talked about this row of homes before because I found them to be quite unusual. I do like the location. This is a 2 bed 2.5 bath going for $399,000. Do you think it seems reasonable? Don’t hate too much on the vinyl…

The reader writes, “I hate the fact that it looks like they may have gutted all the original features that make Petworth rowhouses so great, but $330k for a renovated end unit rowhouse within a mile of the metro has to be a good deal, right?”.
I think there are some people in the community that may have a little more insight on this house than I do. Hopefully they’ll write in. But from what we know does $329,900 seem reasonable?

It looks like they did some solid reno work here. I’m curious what you think about the both the outside and inside. It’s been on the market for 84 days and there’s only been a $20k reduction in price. Do you think it’s possible it’ll go for the asking price of $540,000?
This home is located at 1909 8th Street, NW.
The flier says:
“Great price for a large home in U Street. Brick Row home 2 blocks f/metro & U street 3 bedroom 1 bath w/ basement. Large living and dining room VERY tall ceilings and lots of windows. Basement could be easily finished. Large rear deck and yard. Nice opportunity for someone to find a good deal in a good neighborhood.”
More info and photos found here.
I like the location but I’m a little hesitant because there is only one bathroom. What do you think – does $529,900 seem reasonable for a whole house at this location?

After the jump see the house I really wanted to show at 2218 Wyoming Ave for the Wed. porn edition but I couldn’t find any info. It is pretty sick. (more…)
