Thank you for the update Jody. 1940 HALL ST is a mystery. I mean it’s a TOWNHOUSE. And it sold for 530K?
I have to wonder what the buyer saw in that townhouse. You can buy a SFH of the same size with a large lot for the same price. I mean the DR HORTON homes are selling for $160 a square foot. They could have purchased a brand new single family home on Winkel for around 400K. The lots are small on Winkel but it’s even smaller on HALL ST. And it has two shared walls.

RE: 1940 HALL ST – I had a church friend who lived on Hall ST a while ago when these properties were selling for $750K+. The views of the river are quite pleasant, although back yards are non-existent. The properties make up for this by having covered decks. Technically I’d describe them as “common wall” duplexes (but the common walls seemed pretty well constructed to reduce noise) and they were very well tricked out in terms of interior fixtures and fittings. $530K is a hell of a price ($121/sqft) if you don’t want much of a back yard to deal with and don’t mind the ire of your H2-driving E-Class-leasing neighbors who just saw their houses take a $200K haircut.
Figured I should back the lease comment up. In 2008, Business Week studied the “lease penetration” of luxury brands and put together data on what percentage of cars are leased, as opposed to purchased either with financing or cash. the Top 10 were:
BMW 7 Series: 85%
Saab 9-7x: 82%
Audi A6: 74%
BMW Z4: 71%
Mercedes E-Class: 70%
Range Rover: 70%
BMW 6-series: 69%
Audi A4: 68%
BMW X3: 67%
Jaguar XJ: 66%
Things that make you go: “Hmmmmmm”.

This is the first time I’ve heard of a duplex unit that’s 4300 sq foot in size. The interior must be pretty nice to make up for the fact that it’s a duplex. Personally if I’m going to pay 530K for a house it would not be a duplex/townhouse no matter how well equipped it is inside.
If you look at maps.google.com and then go streetview on 1940 HALL ST, you’ll see that there’s a BMW and what looks like an AUDI parked on the drive way. The neighbor next door doesn’t drive a Hummer H2, but he does drive a FORD EXPEDITION. It’s equally big and obnoxious and has about the same mileage (10 miles a gallon?
