A small space packed with amenities and fabulous views in every direction.
What this 800 sq. foot, one bedroom condo in Washington DC's Logan Circle neighborhood lacks in size, it more than makes up for in amenities! A private rooftop terrace, tall ceilings, and large windows leave an impression, as does the kitchen, which features a high-end, built-in Sub-Zero fridge and frosted glass cabinets that open up the space. Best of all, are the spectacular views!

Logan Circle, stop number one.
DARYL: We're going to see an amazing starter home.
The best thing about it, other than the location is, it has it's own private rooftop terrace.
JOHN: Wow.
CHRISTINE: Ooh.
JOHN: And this is a starter house?
Incredible.
CHRISTINE: So, Daryl, what's nearby?
DARYL: Lots of restaurants, bars, shopping, and we're walking distance to downtown DC.
JOHN: Well, we can't wait to see this place, are you ready?
CHRISTINE: I'm ready.
JOHN: Okay, so I guess we'll see upstairs later.
DARYL: All right.
JOHN: Let's go.
CHRISTINE: Let's go.
JOHN: Okay, that was a healthy dose of stairs.
CHRISTINE: Alright.
JOHN: Whoa.
CHRISTINE: It was so well-worth the steps, though.
JOHN: Yeah, where do we look first?
CHRISTINE: Okay, I'm just completely looking up at these windows.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Floor to ceiling almost, basically.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: And then that open loft.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
CHRISTINE: And that black railing just makes it pop.
JOHN: And then these tall ceilings.
Those have to be 18 feet high.
CHRISTINE: Oh, at least.
JOHN: This is one of the advantages of being on the top floor... CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: Because you're able to have these tall ceilings.
CHRISTINE: Right, right.
So a nice living room area.
JOHN: And it goes right into the kitchen.
CHRISTINE: Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
JOHN: You know what I see?
CHRISTINE: Yep.
JOHN: Well, I know what you see.
CHRISTINE: Oh, I'm sorry, the, I just... JOHN: You're still.
CHRISTINE: I'm just so drawn to this whole space and these windows.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Sorry.
JOHN: The view from the kitchen looking out is even better.
CHRISTINE: I know.
Okay, I'm put, okay, focus.
JOHN: Okay.
CHRISTINE: I'll focus.
JOHN: Okay, let's shift gears.
CHRISTINE: Okay, okay.
JOHN: Okay, so welcome to the kitchen.
CHRISTINE: All right.
JOHN: First thing I notice on our tour of the kitchen is it's got a Sub-Zero fridge, nice.
CHRISTINE: And I like the way it's built in.
JOHN: That's really high-end.
CHRISTINE: What I'm noticing, too, that I've really never thought about with cabinets is the frosted glass.
They open the space up in here.
JOHN: Let's continue the tour down the hall.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
JOHN: And we have... the bathroom.
Double sinks.
CHRISTINE: Shower.
JOHN: Yup.
CHRISTINE: And good size tub.
JOHN: You know, this is much bigger than I would have thought.
CHRISTINE: Surprisingly big.
JOHN: Surprise.
All right, down the hallway to... CHRISTINE: Oh.
JOHN: The bedroom.
CHRISTINE: You know, another wow space.
I have to check out these windows.
I'm just so drawn to the space and you know, looking at the space now, I'm wondering if this was the original façade and I wonder if these are the original deep windows.
JOHN: Looks like it.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: You know, you'd have that depth in older homes.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
And the best part is, these open and there's a nice screen.
I just love that.
JOHN: Come on.
CHRISTINE: I know.
I know.
JOHN: I think we have one more level to check.
CHRISTINE: I know, I know there's a surprise up there.
JOHN: Top floor loft.
CHRISTINE: Ooh.
JOHN: Talk about the best view in the house.
CHRISTINE: Oh.
Hello.
Such a spectacular view.
JOHN: You have a view of the cathedral right there.
CHRISTINE: Oh my gosh.
I didn't even notice that.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: And then the rest of this space.
JOHN: This could probably be another bedroom.
CHRISTINE: Yes.
I want to check out this terrace.
JOHN: This is something not so many people have here.
CHRISTINE: No.
Oh.
JOHN: Ah, the great outdoors, and feel that sun.
CHRISTINE: Oh, isn't that nice?
JOHN: 360, we've seen some pretty amazing views around here.
CHRISTINE: We have.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
CHRISTINE: But, the question is, how do you put a price on that?
JOHN: Let's find Daryl.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
Hey.
DARYL: Hi.
JOHN: Okay, wow.
It had everything you promised.
DARYL: Pretty special, right?
JOHN: Yeah, great place.
CHRISTINE: Yeah, I would have to say, I really, really just love this place.
JOHN: Yeah.
The windows in this living room and then upstairs from the loft are amazing.
And, the loft is actually very large.
CHRISTINE: I was surprised at the size.
DARYL: Right.
JOHN: Overall, I think this is a dynamite starter place.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: And we're at one of the two outdoor spaces now, too.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
CHRISTINE: Yes, you did very well.
JOHN: Very well... CHRISTINE: Very well.
But, we do have a couple questions.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: Okay.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
So, is there a parking spot?
DARYL: There is parking.
CHRISTINE: That's always essential in this area.
JOHN: Is the metro close?
DARYL: The metro's close and, the walkability score is in the high 90s, so you can walk almost anywhere.
JOHN: Not surprising in a hot neighborhood like this.
DARYL: The condo fee's only $266.
CHRISTINE: Uh-huh.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: This doesn't come with bells and whistles like a gym inside, so the condo fees are very low.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
Wow.
JOHN: Okay.
DARYL: Which makes it even more attractive for a first-time home buyer.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: It really does.
CHRISTINE: I'm sold.
DARYL: It's a one bedroom plus den that could be converted into a second bedroom.
Very large bathroom.
It's about 800 square feet.
It was built in 2005.
Beautiful open spaces with the cathedral ceilings.
Parking and two outdoor spaces.
CHRISTINE: I'm gonna say $665,000.
JOHN: I'll go for... $625,000.
CHRISTINE: Oh, there's a difference.
DARYL: You're both very close.
The asking price is $600,000.
JOHN: Oh.
CHRISTINE: Oh.
I am really surprised.
JOHN: 600, that's a really good real.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
DARYL: It's an amazing deal in one of the best neighborhoods.
CHRISTINE: Wow.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: I am sold.
