    Up-and-coming chef for what?

    Where is the “Chef’s Kitchen”?  This looks more like a dorm room.  It could only be worse if the word “gourmet” was thrown in.

    Having been looking in Dupont for awhile, this is a very good deal for a one-bedroom. Hard to find anything decent for under $300K.

    Virtually certain unit #2 is a below-ground unit, which explains the low price (and drawn curtains!). Nice big windows considering, but still a non-starter for me.

    and the basement bugs, and a festival of silverfish and 1000-legged bugs everytime it rains.
