517 15th St [Notable Sale]
NOTABLE SALE: 517 15th St | $3.78M
What Makes It Notable?
In this case, the historic cottage has become an entry room to a modern contemporary house. To be frank, the mismatched style is jarring in person and has limited appeal. As always, Mr. Market makes the final call, but market data shows this home has come up for sale quickly after acquisition and takes a long time to find a buyer. We hope the new buyer has better luck with it than the previous owners.
Prior to this sale, 517 15th Street last sold in June, 2016 for $3.4M. The owner tried selling it only a few months later for $3.55M. The listing expired after being on the market for a little over a year; then they re-listed it at $4.25M November, 2020. It sat on the market until it was withdrawn June 1, 2021. The same day it was re-listed for $4.15M, withdrawn 45 days later, then re-listed 4 days later at $3.95M. It finally went under contract late September and sold October 18 for $3.78M, just in time for Halloween.

Testimonials
We can highly recommend Sophie. Her attention to detail and communication skills are great. Our home was in area that most realtors are not familiar with, but Sophie took extra time to get to know the neighborhood in order to give us quality service. She also brought in a professional photographer to make our home look its best. Even though the listing was in winter, the house sold quickly. With Sophie’s business and people skills, we have no doubt she will be a top realtor in the area.
Osman was a refreshingly honest realtor. He stressed through the entire process that his goal was to make me happy with my home purchase. I greatly appreciated the fact that he never shied away from pointing out the negatives as well as the pluses of different places while leaving the final decision up to me.
