A home just like this one in 16th Street Heights sold for $555,000.  I think the seller has flexibility on the price.  Offer $375,000 and this deal make sense!  This home is in northern 16th Street Heights which sits between Crestwood and Petworth with Shepherd Park to the north.  The upcoming Walmart development is just a short distance away.
