  1. They need to update the gallery photos on the website. I don’t want to see a Christmas tree when we’re going into March. It just makes me think that the house has been sitting, and will continue sitting, on the market.

  2. The problem with these properties, in my view, is that not only are there thousands of people every day staring into and taking pictures of your home but that you could never make a single change to the place without half the city filing a DR and needing to bribe the entire planning committee and every Supervisor.
    Is the headache of living in such a public home really worth it?

  3. ^^^ But on the bright side no self respecting burglar would attempt a breakin with so many people looking on.
    And if the house catches fire one of those tourists will quickly call 911.
    Free ensurance

  4. Price seems pretty steep, yes? I believe the house to the left sold for about $1.6 or so — does anyone know? Yes, it is a smaller house, and it was in need of some work for sure, but I don’t see this one being worth twice as much.
    And, there is about to be two years of construction on this block.
    Comments anyone? DId the house on the corner sell yet (at the end of postcard row)?
