Here is the house a reader mentioned from the 4800 block of Colorado Ave., NW across from Carter Barron. I made the mistake of walking to Logan Circle first then backtracking up here when I remembered. I was totally thrashed by the time I got here but it was well worth it as you can see.
Oh man, I found some great ones in Crestwood/16th Heights area today. This one blew me away. It was west of 16th Street, I think, on Varnum.
Highlands located on 14th Street, NW between Crittenden and Decatur got some great new art. And the coffee was really good too! Not a bad place to hit before or after going to the Upshur pool (around 14th and Webster).
This home is located at 4508 15th Street, NW:
Sadly, there is no flier summary but it is a 3 bed 3.5 bath row house renovated in 2004. It says it has two decks and a master suite with 22ft cathedral ceilings.
You can find more info and photos here. It’s in a slightly different format here on Zillow.
The photos do look quite nice. The flier I picked up says it is for sale for $649,000. Interestingly the “Zestimate” is $614,500. I’m not sure if it sold or they took it off the market (I picked up the flier just this past weekend) but let’s assume it’s for sale for $649,000. Does that sound reasonable?
This home is located at 5213 13th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“THIS IS A SHORT SALE WILL PRESENT ALL OFFERS TO LENDER ASAP FOR FASTER APROVAL ( SUBJECT TO THIRD PARTY APPROVAL )PARKING FOR 6 TO 7 CARS ON THE BACK IT SHOWS WELL. NEEDS COSMETICS ATTENTON. RENOVATED IN 2004, GRANITE CUNTERTOP, MAPLE CABINETS, STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES. OAK HARDWOOD FOORING DECK (WITH TREX)FENCE ALL AROUND AND MUCH MORE.”
You can find more info here.
An eagled eyed reader sent this one to me. It appears there was a typo and the original price was listed at $260,000. But the actual price is $560,000. It looks like a pretty sweet house. But this one will be tough to judge because it’s lacking inside photos. If we trust the description as accurate – do you think this sounds like a reasonable price? If anyone lives near here – how are the public schools?
16th Street Heights hooked me up big time this week. I promise next will have a little more neighborhood diversity but there are so many fresh houses up there…
As you’ve seen I spent some time in 16th Street Heights last weekend so I thought for sure I’d find a good house porn selection. Right away I was excited about this stand alone house located at 4615 16th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Elegant Italianate-influenced center hall brick colonial with deep front and rear yards. Includes four finished levels and features high ceilings, crown moldings, french doors, stone fireplace and great hardwood floors. Generous size rooms including sunny den and sitting rooms on 1st & 2nd levels. Estate property in good livable condition selling “As IS”.”
More info and photos found here.
This house actually isn’t too far from yesterday’s GDoN post. But I thought this one was worth noting because it’s a stand alone and I was taken with the front porch. You may recall I qualify house porn for homes over $1 million. This home is on the market for $699,000. Suffice it to say I was pleasantly surprised. In addition to the price what do you think about the house itself?
There’s another nice one for the same price a couple blocks north at 4834 16th Street if you want to compare the two.
More props to 16th Street Heights. I was struck by the double chimneys.
This home is located at 4714 15th Street, NW:
The flier says:
“Lovely three level town home located in prestigious Street Heights community. Complete with large and private master bedroom, open kitchen, and covered patio that overlooks historic community. Conveniently located near major commuter routes, quality schools, and plenty of shopping and restaurants. NOTE PROPERTY HAS NO HEAT OR AC”
More info and photos found here.
I was super intrigued by this house and thought for sure this was gonna be a good one. Then I read the last sentence – “Note Property has no heat or ac”. There’s always a catch, yeah? Well, I’m still curious to know what you think. Was this a renovation that ran out of money? Anyway, the asking price is $389,000. What do you think?
Here is a super cool one from 16th Street Heights. Not only is the house itself incredible but it’s on its own little island.
