I agree with the ‘Stoner. The Queen Anne on Wash is well priced – for a condo conversion. With very little put into it, you could f-word it it as condos for a tidy profit. Or you could pimp it out and make a ton of money. Look how hot the Graham Home condos a block away are – well over $500 psf. It does *not* however have a deep lot, and it is built to the back. The house on the corner (305) owns 303’s backyard – check it out on the lot outlines section of PShark. If it had a nice backyard, I’d be seriously considering trying to figure out a way to make it work, keeping the lower duplex for myself. I also *hear* it has pretty bad mechanicals – I’m very curious to check out the OH and see for myself. I’ll be there.
Ugly? You call that Queen Anne ugly? You should have your head examined.
Queen Anne rocks.
I LOVE the Queen Anne. If I had the money, they wouldn’t need an open house, I’d be calling in an offer. That’s a very special, unique house, and it looks like the current owner had definite, strong design ideas, and the right house in which to do them. The original details, such as the doors and fireplaces are to die for, and the exposed brick with the sliding door is very cool. I really like it when someone makes a house their own, and incorporates the old, some new, some reclaimed. If there are any serious house hunters out there with the funds, this one will be gone in a couple of weeks.
If it’s in as good condition as it appears, the house on Washington ave will go for asking or above, easy.
4:07: Yes, I agree that the Dwell homes (and those they feature in the magazine) all look essentially the same, with minor variations. For the money, they are good houses–and a little personal style would make them great.
I walk by this house on the way to work everyday. Been admiring it ever since I moved to the neighborhood. The adjoining houses are not as well kept up though. Also, there’s a lot of overgrown trees in the yard. Am glad that it’s on the market. Maybe the new owner will take better care of the yard. Even so, it’s a great block. There are some real incredible/enchanting old-world mansions on the washington ave strip between willoughby and fulton. I like the neighborhood; no need to defend it; am in love with it actually; love strolling around or riding my bike on a nice day; real glad I made the decision to buy in the nabe even if it’s just a studio. By the way, this house is across the street from the pfizer mansion.
3:35 pm — they = dwell. Dont you think that Dwell compromises on creativity, is what I meant.
3:35 pm. I agree with you that it is for a different budget. But don’t you think they also compromise on creativity? I look at W of I for inspiration, not to go out and purchase what they promote, but just to get that part of my brain excited and thinking out of the box.
I guess I just consider Dwell more of a catalogue. But I do see your point completely — W of I isn’t practical at all (even for rich people — you can’t go out and buy personal taste.)
