This house is beautiful on the outside but from what I'm hearing on this board, there is nothing on the inside people. Nada. I suppose that while that could be a draw for some people, it's certainly not happening at that price, and not in today's market. Most individuals in today's market that dispose of $2.5+ to blow on a house are buying up beauties like 30 South Portland, 181 Washington Park, and 344 Carlton Avenue (all featured on brownstoner's HOTD--look them up), even if you have to pay a bit more in a bidding war. Those houses are worth it. They're pristine. This poor ol' house has a sketchy history and has had its guts ripped out. Never trust a developer to sell you the house with any of its salvageable deets. I've seen developers strip houses and sell off the parts, just like it was a car.
