Another home for sale on Quality Row. Designed in 1835, those houses are now national historic landmarks and in 1836 Thomas Edison stayed there as a guest while establishing the Edison Illuminating Company. While this house doesn’t have any notable historic attachments to it, the Quality Row houses are well maintained. Purchasing and restoring this home will add to the improvements already being made here and the Quality Row homeowners I have met are very friendly. Be sure to check out the house to the left that is also for sale that is smaller and cheaper. The asking price seems high since one of the Quality Row homes across the street was listed for the same price last year, but in much better condition.

The house across the street, 112, will be paying aprox. $9500 in combined property/school taxes as per the new assessment of $192,500. Why? That side of the street falls into a “different” neighborhood, 00004, and pulls comparables from Grand St., N.Montgomery etc. in which they base the assessment. This house, assessed at $53300, falls into neighborhood 0008 and pulls comps from Dubois, Johnston etc.. Crazy. Fair…not, and it’s not going unnoticed…
