House of the Day: Kensington FSBO(B)

house house
This two family on East 7th Street is a FSBO but the owner also happens to be a broker and ain’t interested in sharing the wealth with a colleague. The house is very cute, with a front porch, tin ceilings, and stained glass, among other charms. As the ad says, “This House Is Not For Someone Who Does Not Appreciate The Details And Charm Of A House Built In The Early 20th Century.” The owner paid $665,000 for the place two years ago and has made some upgrades (new boiler, new curb cut, renovated porch). Is the new asking price of $879,000 consistent with price movements in the nabe in general, considering the work done on the house?
