A bargain at $4.75 million!

This has always been one of my favorite houses on the Hill, and now it’s for sale, for $4.75 million. It was built in 1903 by a stonemason from Italy and has seven bedrooms, five baths and a two-car garage. The house encompasses 5,688 square feet and the property three lots. It’s called the “Deer House” because of a stone statue of a deer located in its front garden (seen at right). Capitol Hill has become a desirable and expensive neighborhood in Washington, but that price is astronomical even for here. Needless to say, I don’t think we’ll be buying it ;-).

If interested, there are a lot of photos in the inside at http://www.redfin.com/DC/Washington/712-E-Capitol-St-NE-20003/home/10183501?utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=1021582&utm_term=kwd-970246450967&utm_content=442287991848

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

It is an amazing house but definitely a little expensive. I'm glad you included the link to see the inside. I can't quite swing it right now and I would not want to get in Julie's way for her to purchase it. ~BV~

I’ll be there at the first open house. It seems a steal at that price. The detail is really nice. V

A great and lovely house, just a bit too big for me and my wife, and my retirement money is not sufficient, a great image helen BV

Never say never. The place is looking great and with lots of rooms, but they have to be cleaned too.

I love old houses, and this together with its garden is a tempting dwelling, but not at that price! Great shot of this stately beauty. V

This is truly magnificent and I love the gardens!
I would prefer something with some open spaces and a LOT less expensive!

5K+ square feet is a lot of house. At that price the customer base is limited, to say the least. Must be an amazing property and the deer is a nice feature.

It is a lovely place, and very well photographed.

Beautiful/expensive house. Hope it has an elevator, if not, I'll have to pass LOL.

From the front it does look that big. One can only dream! V

Yes I think its a little bit out of most peoples pockets being nearly five million dollars, ouch! Nice capture of the house and garden, Helen.V

It's a fabulous house - took the tour. Not so sure about the leopard print carpet though!

That would be about $6.5 million Canadian. Not many, if any, houses in Edmonton at that price. V

The only thing I don´t like about this is the price.V.
