Love the roof deck, but think you can get more bang for your buck in Dupont.
Nearly $1.4 million for a 2BR condo is a little insane, even if it’s Dupont Circle. It’s not that big, and the interior’s nothing special - I’ve seen condos at a third the price that had more wow factor. Good luck to the developers, they’ll need it to find chums willing to pay $785/sq foot.
For this price, you have your pick of over a dozen 2-4 bedroom, renovated rowhouses in Georgetown. Or you could have bought (I’m not sure if there are units still available) a 2-3 bedroom at the Wormley which had much nicer finishes. I really question how these listings are chosen and featured. You truly have to be an idiot to buy some of these.
Georgetowner, I think these listings are chosen to let you know what $1 million of $1.5 million buys you in certain DC neighborhoods. Perhaps you have an agenda…all the listings you mention are in Gtown.
ah you’re right. The listing was never represented as a “best deal” as I thought it was…
That said, I still think that the headline for this should be: “Friday’s “If I Had $1 Million and I’m an Idiot” Listing.
And you’re right.. I absolutely have an agenda. I am the emperor of Georgetown, and every person I can convince to buy here instead of elsewhere means another person I can tax.
