After visiting, I really liked the 7th St house but think it is priced too high for the size. The basement ceiling encloses pipes and my 6 foot husband had to duck under to enter the ‘den’ space shown. If you’re doing back of the envelope $/sq foot calculations, you can’t count the basement as is. You’d have to dig it out to make it really useable for normal sized adults.
The office floor in the extension looked like painted plywood to me (they just should have thrown down some wall to wall carpet).
Overall, though, it’s a beautiful house. If the price drops and its the right size for your needs, it would be a great place to live.
Thanks for the description, diva. Always good to hear from someone who’s seen.
Would be unusual, though, for there to be a cement floor on the second floor of an extension….wonder what it is. Looking at the photo, I figured it was painted plywood. I like that space, though, despite the baseboard radiators. The light looks great.
Thanks for responding, bob78.
We went to the 7th Street open house last week, and I must say that this place shows better in pictures than in person. While the parlor floor is nice, the basement can’t have ceilings more than 7 feet high, and the kitchen is rather small with unattractive melamine finishes (thus no pictures). The bedroom/office extension is a nice space, but they haven’t bothered to carry the flooring in and have instead some version of painted cement – very odd. It feels very small for 1.7 m – 2 houses next door of a similar size have added another floor, and I think this house would greatly benefit from that extra room, but this is already overpriced as is, so I’m not sure anyone would justify the expense.
Oh, ooops. Ok, last post: story.

Whoa. Just did the per foot price on 7th Street. They must be counting the basement???? cause otherwise I’m getting over $1200/foot? But can they count the basement…..OK, looking again, I see the basement looks like a legitimate garden floor even though they’ve set it up more as a finished basement space. But it does look like you could “live” down there; the windows are large and above grade enough. That brings the per foot price to about $800/foot, not really out line for location. I suppose the kitchen is a question, but even if the kitchen were in shambles, this price would not be crazy. It does FEEL like too much, however, for what to me is a two story small house.
7th Street house has a quiet homey elegance that I really like. No picture of the kitchen, though. Since I often don’t need kitchens to be the latest latest, I’d rather see it than not.
I really like the 7th Street house too, and agree price seems high.
All the others are strange and strangely priced. Strangely, as in oddly over.
