DIBS–look at St. James floor plans. I’m generally pro 2 bathroom, but not at the expense of teeny weeny bedrooms.
Don’t go complaining about CH photos. People are very sensitive about the issue.
when my realtor took pictures to list my manhattan place not only did he make sure it was clutter free but he cleaned the windows too!!!!
Never take a pic of the bathroom with the toilet seat up!!!

For $550K, you’re lucky if the house is clean for the showing, let alone the photo shoot.
Why oh why do realtors take such crummy pictures of properties i.e. Union Street? Couldn’t they be bothered to remove clutter (ice cube trays) or close kitchen cabinets, or not shoot at night? What could they be thinking? This happens a lot and truly is baffling. OK, enough venting, but it’s a very strange real estate mystery, especially in a down market…
I saw the Union St. house last week. It’s got a lot of original detail and some special features, like pressed paper (or tin?) on the walls in the entryway. But it also has the railroad-like layout typical of these houses, with lots of small rooms. Next door is an apartment building looking into the yard and behind is a row of garages. Still, it’s priced about right for the neighborhood and condition.
i forgot to add: the agent might be one of the partners or the owner himself.
my guess re: st. james is that the place was purchased in Jan 08 by some partners that do the renovate and flip thing frequently and that the real estate agent is well-acquainted with the owners/partners from prior transactions.
Here we go with the two bathrooms discussion again!!!!!
