Each month, we crawl through real estate listings on various websites searching for homes–in all sorts of price points and locations–that for some reason, just haven’t found the right person or family to call their own. Sad. But why haven’t these seemingly lovely dwellings sold? A few months ago we featured this one (which shockingly still hasn’t been scooped up) and got tons of great reader theories as to its continued market presence. My favorite: That it was haunted by a wealthy ghost.

For our current installment, we look to this natural light-filled, Georgian Revival-style beauty, built in 1906 and perched atop a hill along 22nd Avenue E. The six-bedroom abode has an immense 6,665 square feet and a stunning central entrance hall from which the other first-floor rooms flow. (Oh, the holiday gatherings one could host!)

Architectural details abound: Coffered ceilings, ornate columns and crown moulding, oak floors, original radiators (so now), a converted vintage McCray icebox in the kitchen. If you’re looking for charm with some swell mountain views to boot, this place certainly has it. So what’s the problem?

For one, there’s a high price tag attached (the home is listed for $2,288,000) and a few of the rooms–mainly the bathrooms–look a tad outdated. Maybe it’s too much charm for buyers to handle? Or could the strangely-worded, overly flowery property description on the real estate site be a possible barrier? Take a look at the photos below to speculate why you think this Capitol Hill home hasn’t sold.

Gorgeous central entrance way. Slightly conjurs Grey Gardens, no?

A breakfast room sits off the kitchen; there is also a formal dining room

The kitchen is a cool mix of new and old

Pretty bedroom, but the blue carpet is meh

One of the home’s 3.75 baths. Could it’s outdated style be one of the reasons it hasn’t sold?
