House of the Day: 2101 Albemarle Terrace
According to the listing, this single-family brick house at 2101 Albemarle Terrace needs some renovation love, but, man, what great raw material to work with: “Designed by Slee & Bryson, and constructed in 1917, the graceful center stair design offers large open rooms with beautiful original oak and mahogany parquet wood floors, original plaster moldings,…
According to the listing, this single-family brick house at 2101 Albemarle Terrace needs some renovation love, but, man, what great raw material to work with: “Designed by Slee & Bryson, and constructed in 1917, the graceful center stair design offers large open rooms with beautiful original oak and mahogany parquet wood floors, original plaster moldings, many built-ins and generous closet space throughout.” Totally sweet. Think the asking price of $819,000 is low enough, though, given the work that will have to be done?

Hey, Nomi, thanks for watching my back in the Open House thread on Friday.
or you already have kids in a decent public school and are now able to move (that garage makes a drive to school no biggie).
Rob, you are a troublemaker.
And, I believe “narly” is spelled “gnarly.” Not to be confused with Gnarls Barkley…..

No, Rob, but they wouldn’t want to send their kids to those schools, and although I am a die-hard fan of sending kids to neighborhood publics, from what little I know, that immediate area does have some pretty bad schools and if you’ve got $800K or the ability to borrow it, why would you move to an area with really bad schools?
Listen, if that house was $350K I’d be there already and adorable moppet would just have to take her chances, but…for more money?
Look, if you are looking at buying in an area and you have a family – you look at the grade of the local school – basic stuff. This school district is lousy (tell me otherwise if I’m wrong somehow)…meaning that if you buy this home and NOT send you kids to a private school, you would knowingly be sending them to a public school that is subpar.
I much prefer the almost identical house for sale with BHS for 849K (which was 895K when it was an open house pick in May and was originally priced at 980K). I’d say both are still way overpriced for the amrket–but nice.

strange, im sure there are 100s of families in the area who send their kids to public schools. are are you insinuating the the type of person who can afford this house is better than the people who live in the area that send their kids to public schools?

No, not Brown Harris Stevens, I have no affiliation with them, just an unfortunate choice of initials for my login. I’m a neighbor, so an interested party, but also someone very familiar with the area. I haven’t been inside this house though.
