$50,000 Below Asking For The Penthouse of an Architect
After helping to remodel and convert the Rainbow Autobody & Painting Company building in Logan Circle to condos in 2004, architect Steven Dickens and his partner bought the penthouse, which recently sold at a $49,000 discount from its $1.399 million asking price. The open living area is modern - with a stark white interior, and floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlook a wide private patio, which spans the length of the condo. A fireplace is sandwiched by two tall built-in, recessed bookshelves. The primary suite offers two walk-in closets, and a workplace with a wall-length built-in desk space is found just around the corner from the bedroom.
