While that apartment is absurdly cool, I just can’t see myself justifying a 4.2 million dollar apartment without its own helipad.

Also, first to say $4,500/month is pretty steep for a condo fee (unless they also provide a driver for my ’92 Honda Accord).

I used to live across Wyoming Ave and was always curious about this building. This is such a petty complaint because the condo is otherwise fantastic, but I hate how they lined up all the tile joints in a few of the baths and the kitchen.

isn’t that the wrong zip code? I thought 20018 is waaay over in NE near the MD border.

There is nothing about this apartment that isn’t hot. Best kitchen I’ve seen. Completely mouthwatering, and as house porn goes, hard core.

And to answer your question, a sophist apartment is one that’s all about wisdom. Or maybe they mean that this place was the setting/inspiration for one of Plato’s plays.

wow. that’s the most tastefully decorated house porn at that price range that i’ve ever seen. absolutely love how they made it look rich and sophisticated without completely overdoing it. amazing.

I have always wonder about the units – glad to know looks wise they are what I expected. Hose porn for me definitely.

I knew they were going to be expensive but I didn’t realize they were this expensive! I mean it is a great building, good location, available parking, and a good size but still. I know that someone wanting this kind of place as a condo isn’t necessarily someone who would want an estate – after all that hefty condo fee is paid to take care of stuff but considering the price of the unit and the price tag that is an expensive piece of real estate with a limited buying pool. This is not NYC with a deep and wide pool of people who make millions a year and want places like this.

There are either a lot of combined units in the building, or there are a several people who own multiple units. My only beef about this gorgeous apartment is that there’s probably a fair amount of road noise from Connecticut Ave, if you’re on the third floor. It’s a minor quibble.

All of the apartments in this building are enormous. I don’t know if it’s been cut up but most of the units are 5,400 sq. ft. with 5 bedrooms, 4 baths and servants quarters. That fee buys you any kind of service your heart desires. You don’t have to lift a finger. Lena Horne used to live there and various other senators, supreme court justices, high ranking military personnel, etc. You get the picture. When the building converted to condos in 1977, the units went for $150,000 to $240,000.

3rd bathroom is my dream bathroom, hands down my favorite tile types. Kitchen soooooo not big enough. It’s not a “hang out kitchen” nor does the rest of the house look like it has ever been inhabited…

A lot of blank space for great entertaining, not a lot of functional space for a family to spend time in. Huge potential, though!
