House notes

  • The 2014 MLS narrative opens "Quaint split level MacGregor in desirable Richmond North and East neighborhood" — the listing names the builder outright
  • Sits on a 1,900 sq ft lot, the smallest in this collection by 600 sq ft — every other house here has 2,500 sq ft or more
  • The two bedrooms are on different levels: one at street level with the main entry and laundry, one upstairs
  • Legal lot 29, block 11 of the Richmond City Center subdivision — a different tract from the Nicholl & MacDonald Avenue Civic Center lots at 609 29th St and 525 28th St
  • County records show a 1956 renovation, seven years after the house was built
  • Arched lattice vent set into the front gable, still in place in the most recent Street View imagery
  • The 2014 sale reset the assessment from $113,689 to $272,087 and pushed the following year's tax bill up 78.8%, from $2,690 to $4,811
  • Heated by a single wall furnace, with ceiling fans and no cooling system
