The “T1″ unit number and drawn shades all scream “ground level” or “terrace” apartment to me. Plus they’ve attempted to shoehorn 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms into a 750 sq.ft. apartment. $439/sq.ft. will get you a pretty decent above-ground place in logan circle. If I’m paying $329,000 in Petworth, I want more than what they’re offering.

They’d have to throw in garage parking for me to consider it worth the money.

Agreed it sounds underground, and the building looks so drab….like a post office. Disagree that 2BR/2BA in 750 feet is shoehorning. That’s a lot of space if planned well.

I looked at this place in December 2007, when it was priced at $299K. It is not even ground level, more like glorified basement. I think 10 percent appreciation over less than years is optimistic, especially given what the last two years were like for the housing market.

I’d make a bid, but lowball a little. The area is one of the few areas left in NW with potential for a lot of growth. Live in it or rent out to young families, students or dreaded hipsters for a while.

Ah, the old block.
I remember way back when it was just an empty rundown building, waiting for some developer to come along and fix her up . . .

14th n’ Otis: We had a jacuzzi tub in a place we lived in for 3 and a half years. I’m sure that in total we spent more time trying to clean the jets than actually using the thing. I’d rather have a standard tub.

I too looked at units in this building back in 2007; however I didn’t think it was that bad. The units had great 12 ft. ceilings and nice features. I do think the layouts didn’t maket the best use of spaec (i.e., large bathroom, small kitchen). My issue was that it’s a stones throw from “the house” and I wasn’t too keen on having to deal with the hassles that place creates.
