Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal. Submit your guesses in the comments and closest guess gets the PriceChecker crown for the week. This weeks PriceChecker is a newly renovated Colonial in the Palisades NW.

Being in such a tony neighborhood, it take a lot to set yourself apart.

The backyard is finished with over 4,500 sq-ft of stone terraces, has an outdoor kitchen built to entertain, and a killer infinity pool!
So take your best guess in the comments and we will crown a winner next Tuesday afternoon. Should you need some additional help, we got more info including the realtor spin and photos after the jump, including that pool…

Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal.
Well your guesses are in and counted, and the actual list price on the four bedroom federal with the gorgeous formal garden is listed for $2,100,000, which is probably a small price to pay for such proximity to Eastern Market and the Capitol.

Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal. Submit your guesses in the comments and closest guess gets the PriceChecker crown for the week. This weeks PriceChecker is a Federal-style detached row home steps from Eastern Market.

This house is certainly typical of the type you find all over Capitol Hill, but what what you don’t find much of is standalone Federal Structures with a formal garden and a greenhouse. Of course there are four bedrooms, three and a half baths and off street parking. Many of the architectural interior flourishes remain but there is a brand new kitchen, and strangely a spiral staircase in the living room.
So take your best guess in the comments and we will crown a winner this Friday afternoon, some more information including the realtor spin and photos of the formal garden and spiral staircase after the jump…

Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal. Submit your guesses in the comments and closest guess gets the PriceChecker crown for the week. This first PriceChecker of the new year is a classic Federal in East Georgetown.

Feast your eyes on this beautifully restored true town home right on the edge of Georgetown in the East Village. The house has 6 bedrooms, 5 and a half baths and even has a pool in the backyard (not exactly a common feature in Georgetown). Worried about parking? There is off street space for 4 cars. There is a great looking wood pannled library and a very modern (and a bit out of place if you ask us) black and white checked kitchen
So take your best guess in the comments and we will crown a winner this Friday afternoon, and should you need some additional help, some more information including the realtor spin and photos of after the jump inlcuding the library and the strangly modern kitchen…

Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal. Submit your guesses in the comments and closest guess gets the PriceChecker crown for the week. This weeks PriceChecker is a historic home that was once home to President Grover Cleveland.

The Georgian style home was originally built on a full acre in 1927 and has been meticulously restored with six bedrooms and nine baths. If you like wood paneling, than this house is for you because most rooms on the first floor are covered in it. The home was apparently used as a “summer White House” for President Grover Cleveland and has beautiful views over nearby Rosedale park.
So take your best guess in the comments and we will crown a winner this Friday afternoon, some more information including the realtor spin and photos of after the jump…

Your weekly chance to take a stab at real estate appraisal. Submit your guesses in the comments and closest guess gets the PriceChecker crown. This week we bring you a special PriceChecker edition on the estate of Ted Kennedy in Kalorama Northwest.

Ted Kennedy’s widow has decided to sell the Kalorama home and move to a smaller place. The passing of the elder statesman marks a really significant point in Washington history, and the home will certainly garner a lot of attention when it does eventually sell.
The large home has over 8,900 square feet of space, seven bedrooms, seven baths, five fireplaces, a lap pool and an exercise room. As expected, the home isn’t really going to be listed so all your guesses will be speculation till someone actually closes on the property. As a reference point, the home was purchased in 1998 for $2.8 million. So what do you think?
Take your best guess in the comments and we will see who gets closest to the closing price. [Photo: Jeanne Welsh]

Well we must say that your guesses for the most part were in the right ballpark. It is always hard to judge a historic building but you guys did well. The five bedroom house built in 1815 is listed at $2.95 M.
