The current owner bought it for 34,500 from the Secretary of the United States on 5/10/2005. They rehabbed it then putting in the Jacuzzi, New Plumbing Carpets, Recessed lighting, updated bath and the obligatory granite countertops.
Now that the owner has added value to the house by renovating it, he is trying to sell it for a profit.
Will he be able to sell it at 210K?
Probably not as the rowhouse is narrow. It is located at the gentrification frontier. Additionally, there is a growing inventory of rowhouses available for sale nearby.
