There’s a crack up in the ceiling
and the kitchen sink is leaking
Saw the 15th Street house and the layout is unfixable, in my humble opinion. Too small for my needs, but that price is out of sight. Even at the height of the market, not the current lows (with Time magazine predicting another -40%) this wouldn’t get more than 850. All overpriced!
So what do folks say, is the inventory going to shrink further as the weather finally warms, or are sellers finally going to need to enter the market, with reasonable prices?
they must be kidding for the house on 15th street. $1,000 psf for a hallway? It’s not even 12.5 ft wide.
i’ve been keeping an eye on that 15th street house for a while as well, trying to figure out if there’s a realistic way to move the bathroom and reconfigure the bedroom situation to make it work. doesn’t seem like there is without spending an awful lot of dough.
i can’t imagine having kids in this house. either they get the bedroom with the bathroom or they’re trooping through your room to pee in the middle of the night. moving to the ‘burbs makes more sense than this.
When 15th St. was HOTD, I kept looking at the plan trying to see how the bathroom could be moved to where the second bedroom is now and then turn the “study” and former bath into a bedroom. Might not be the best use of space, but it’s not really acceptable to have the one full bathroom thru a bedroom for this money. Expensive move, though. Other problem is that the living room seems to function more as a very large foyer — not great for sitting. (Also, for sure that photo is exaggerating the amount of light you’d ever get in that room! Downside of a lovely porch.)
I think it’s an adorable house for what it is. But it’s cramped and problematic. Not sure it can get nearly a million.
Thoughts on what the 15th street house should go for?
I think it’s cute, but a bit overpriced….

She came in through the bathroom window.
Yeah… the Sackett place. Unless the top floor is ACTUALLY and mother-in-law apartment, it would suck to have a tenant. The whole stairway is public and each floor would need locking doors? Uggh.
Seems like a terrible arrangement for a second unit.
