Good Deal or Not? Under $400k Edition

This condo is located at 1700 15th Street, NW:

The flier says:

“Victorian “mansion”flat in 7 unit bldg. LOW CONDO FEE!East facing corner flat with treetop views fr 7 huge windows. LIGHT FILLED/open layout/great flow/ good room porportions. LR w/ fplc/sep dining area and adjacent home office/ dual entry BA. Dramatic inviting space. IN the Heart of it all nestled’tween Dupont & Logan. WALK TO EVERY amenity. PRIMO LOCATION. PETS ok.”

More info and a virtual tour found here.

That living room is sweet! What do you think of the rest of the condo? I did a bit of tease with the “under $400k edition” because it’s only a one bedroom/one bathroom. But it’s yours for $359,900. I’m thinking that’s a bit high. What do you guys think? (Next week I’m going to widen the search to include some more neighborhoods, suggestions are always appreciated!)

Apparently it was a good enough deal because it’s no longer listed (under contract??)

Yeah … apparently a good deal if it’s already off the market. Unless the realtor just has the posting down for maintenance.

In any case, I’m fairly certain this place previously was rented by a good friend, and the apartment needed a lot of work, particularly in the obsolete and cramped kitchen. It’s a great location, but $359k would be cutting it a little too close for me.

strange bedroom — the hall is so narrow it’s not even wide enough for a runner rug.

“Hansom” building, though!

$2400/mo or so with all expenses for a 1br apartment? If someone is indeed in the process of purchasing this place, they are not getting a good deal.

I just want to mention how I love that the Kaplan ad just has 1990 M St. listed as their address. No quadrant. Do they have locations at all three 1990 M Streets? Oh who am I kidding, we all know it’s NW and would never be NE or SE.

That kitchen is pretty out of date for that price. I also appreciate the creativity of the listing agent calling a hallway not just a dining room but also a workspace. And what’s with the ladder in the bedroom?

I think it’s a nice space but it’s not nice enough for that price.
