People couldn’t seem to agree whether yesterday’s House of the Day at 241 Washington Avenue was a decent deal at $1,789,000. Since real estate is relative, we thought it would be useful to look at a similar house just down the block at 298 Washington that Corcoran has on the market for $1,695,000. The listing is a little thin on the photos and description so it’s hard to make too detailed a comparison, but our guess is that these places are pretty similar. The interesting thing to note about this place is that it has had very few owners over the last century and change. (We heard only three families have lived there.) This is generally a big positive when it comes to the preservation of details and not such a great thing when it comes to modern upgrades. From the few pictures on the site, we’d say the historical character of the house looks intact. What we really need is to hear from someone who’s been inside both places recently. NB: Some new photos have been added to the listing and above.
