Welcome to the neighborhood!!

but the vets who died gave you the right to voice your opinion. God Bless them
i'm guessing they put in some good sound buffering windows? fl ave is LOUD.

^yes. The only danger at this location is being run over by a motorist from Maryland.
The building tends to have small units, and has rather low ceilings. Can’t beat the location, though.
Yes, it’s small, and yes, it’s nearly $2k, but I actually think this is a good deal. The location is so great with the National Mall pracitcally in your backyard. And that balcony looks pretty sweet.
Plus you have three metro lines all within two blocks!
not to mention, parties on your balcony during DC festivities…
True, although it appears to face north, not towards Pennsylvania Ave.
Good deal, but why why WHY could you carpet this place? Carpet is disgusting!
At least it’s being replaced before the new tenant moves in.
Meh, just to get dirty and nasty again. Even new carpet is bad news – loaded with industrial chemicals. Carpet: Just Skip It.
Maybe its a requirement so that downstairs neighbors don’t hear every footstep
That’s what I was thinking. Sometimes it’s required as a soundproofing measure. I don’t like carpet either, but I’d live with if if I could be in this location!
That’s what tasteful area rugs are for…..you do not need to carpet the whole place and ruin it!
I’d guess that it’s cheaper for the landlord to re-carpet the place than to get hardwood floors put in.
And if this is a condo that the owner is renting out, and if the building has an “80% carpeted” rule or whatever, it’s probably easier for the landlord to carpet the place him/herself than to rely on the tenant to supply his/her own area rugs.
I’m not sure it would get enough light for my taste since there aren’t windows in the bedroom. I lived in a window-less bedroom in college and I hated every minute of it. It sapped the life out of me.
Man, this is a good deal. Not extremely nice on the inside but the location…is wonderful.
This actually seems almost suspiciously low to me.
The smaller 1B Condos in this building go for low 300′s now, and originally sold for the 100′s in the late 90′s.
I’m guessing this guy is making a killing on the mortgage payment vs rent. So it does not seem “suspiciously low.” It’s probably only 500 or so sqft.
I think with small apartments you can get away with renting for much more than your mortgage. People are willing to rent tiny places for a lot of money, especially if they’re in a good location, whereas buyers usually want something a little bigger.
What’s with all the navy blue curtains??
I think there’s only one set of blue curtains, at the entrance to the bedroom — it’s just that there are several photos taken from inside and outside the bedroom showing its doors and hence the curtains.
Good deal for this location. Really good deal.
This has gotta be a fake
Does the bedroom even qualify as a bedroom without a window? I thought that was required per DC regs? It hardly even seems like it is 500 square feet looking at the tiny living/dining/kitchen area…
The doors to the bedroom are glass, thus the curtains. Maybe that was supposed to compensate for the lack of windows.
I still think it’s a good deal considering the prestige of the address and the amenities.
This looks like it should be classified as a “junior one-bedroom,” not a true one-bedroom.
Not sure if the listing agent is fudging things, or if maybe the PoP real estate webform thing is lacking a check-box for “junior one-bedroom.”
And you can pick up croissants for breakfast at Paul bakery just by crossing the Navy memorial in your slippers. Dream location.
I think the weird L-shaped “living room” might have something to do with this pricing. I’ve looked at several such set-ups around town, and I can never quite figure out how you would arrange furniture/television/etc…
Electric stove…ugh
This might be the first listing I have seen where they use “steps from …” in a manner I deem accurate.
I see the in-unit washing machine… but where is the dryer?
