Junior Whopper: 725 President Street



Let's imagine you were hungry, and you only had $1.75 to spend. Oh... and you were at Burger King. Would you buy the Whopper or the Whopper Junior? Our guess is the Whopper. More bang for your buck, right?

Now - why would anyone behave differently if we raised the stakes by a million? Why don't you ask the folks down at Brownstone Real Estate who listed the 12.5' wide 725 President Street for $1.783M? It supposedly has high ceilings, which might actually manage to be taller than the building is wide.

We would spend a little time ragging on the awkward angle of the dated kitchen shot with the doorway in the foreground...




Or how, "The upper triplex boasts... a 2-seat hot tub with a skylight" that looks more like a sink in this picture...



But just do yourself a favor and go by the cheaper, larger, better Original Whopper, 710 President Street, if you're even considering 725 at any price.

Pro's: original details, high ceilings, location, turns out the hot tub isn't a sink

Con's: 12.5' wide, 2,400 sqft, nothing grabs us inside, wayyyy better ways to spend this money

Ideally: do not pass go, do not collect $200, go straight to 710 President Street

    1. They took some better pictures, added an open house, and the line in all caps, "THE SELLER IS MOTIVATED AND WILL LISTEN TO ALL REASONABLE OFFERS!"
