House of the Day: 389 8th Street

This one seems like a bit of a stretch. The brick townhouse at 389 8th Street just hit the market asking $2,450,000. For a four-story house in the location at this price, we’d expect something pretty impressive. And, although we don’t have many photos to go from, this place looks just middle of the road. We like the exposed beams in the kitchen of the owner’s duplex, but there’s no evidence of any original detail or anything else to make you say “wow!” The bathroom, though newly renovated, is nothing special and the backyard still has a chain link fence around it. Can’t quite figure out why they’re asking so much.
