Whether it merits a mark-up to $1,550,000 is another matter, one that the market will have to decide. In the meantime, we’re left to wonder if one of the owners could be a stylist or designer.

okay bkhabitant, now I seen everything
In all seriousness, I really like the look of this house and someone should say congrats to the owner as well – he did a very nice job with the website.
The renovation does look very well done. And they did a great job maximizing space in that narrow building — with the stair the way it is the living room is basically as wide as it would be in a 18′ wide home if 6′ were taken off for a stair hall…
None of which is to say they’ll get their price…
You all need to stop complaining – 12.5 feet is the new 25 foot. In fact it’s really a triple wide!! Just a bit to the northwest, they’re suggesting you can make two bedrooms out of a 45×4 space. No joke!!

2400 sq ft = 600 sq ft per floor, divided by 12.5ft = 50 ft deep. That’s a long and skinny house.
Man, what great style. I wonder what it’ll get in the end.
BTW, how’s the one right off Fulton doing (featured here months back)? In contract? Anywhere near ask?
