Property Description
A remarkable reincarnation of an already precious diamond. Whether you enter by passing through the dreamy blue front door with its antique brass lock and fixtures and marble foyer or you park in one of your three spaces and stroll from the automatic back gate to the walkways lined with perennials and annuals, passing the sumptuous lawn bordered by its bounty of more flowers, blooming trees and bushes to the slate patio with its fountain that takes several waterfalls down the wall into a tempting tile-lined pond, one cannot help but stop and sigh and say “I’m home.” This East Village residence is pure elegance but not pretentious, historic but awash in modern conveniences. This stunning semi-detached property, once two homes with the first building completed in 1801, has a superior Georgetown location. With its 6,748 square-foot lot, spanning the full block between 28th and 29th Streets, it is a unique piece of property with immeasurable privacy. Sometimes it is difficult believing you are in a celebrated cosmopolitan neighborhood because of the back garden oasis - an oasis with an automatic irrigation system and subtle lighting and, if you must, the property has an easement for a pool. Renovations have occurred twice in the last few years with the last just completed. Because there were two divided HVAC systems still serving the home, a decision was made to combine them into new high efficiency forced air systems which required adjustments and demolition throughout much of the interior. Not only were the changes made providing the premium in high-end technology but also a reason to incorporate, introduce and enrich the home with new life and beautification while still maintaining the character of Georgetown and balancing modern amenities and upgrades. The public rooms within this over 5,300 square foot residence form a masterpiece of sunlight and flow. The nine-foot-ceiling living room with balcony and fireplace provides over 360 square feet of entertaining space and is the intro to four spectacular rooms. The library or family room, depending on your preference, has two walls of built-ins, a fireplace, and double pane glass French doors to the gardens. The adjoining dining room is a glamorous standout feature which flows into the spacious double pane glass sunroom where you can listen to the tinkling of the fountain and feel as if you are outdoors no matter the season. The kitchen is all new, sleek, and fixed with the highest end of German technology from Seimatic cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances. The residence has seven bedrooms, some of which have the advantage of switching into offices or an exercise room, five bathrooms, two powder rooms, and laundry. An impressive study with its original stone fireplace and which greets you as you enter can also be used as an office or family room. And finally, there are scores of special smaller touches added, to make this property the ultimate in Georgetown.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
