CHRISTINE: Okay.
DARYL: We're in the heart of Logan Circle, which is right across the street from Le Diplomate, all of the restaurants and bars on 14th Street.
This is an amazing property.
It was built in 2005.
5th floor unit, and I can't wait for you to see it.
CHRISTINE: I can't wait to see it, either.
JOHN: We'll see you here after.
CHRISTINE: Let's go.
DARYL: Okay.
JOHN: Oh.
CHRISTINE: Oh.
JOHN: This is lovely.
First stop on the tour, powder room.
CHRISTINE: Ooh, a nice half bath.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
CHRISTINE: If this design is any indication of what we're going to see in this condo... JOHN: Yes.
CHRISTINE: It's going to be a very sleek and modern look.
JOHN: I think so.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: Okay.
The kitchen.
My first impression is the word chic.
CHRISTINE: Ooh.
JOHN: This a very chic home.
CHRISTINE: I would use the word chic here, too.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Just the whole design.
JOHN: Glass tile, glass, and the cabinets.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: Not really a chef's kitchen, right?
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: It's a great, you know, just, "Come and have a cocktail."
You know?
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: We'll order out at Le Diplomate, you know.
CHRISTINE: That's true.
Oh, look it.
JOHN: Gorgeous living room.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: Looking over 14th Street, right down the corridor.
CHRISTINE: Well, you know, look at the views from all the windows.
JOHN: The balcony is amazing, too.
It's a wrap-around, it looks like.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
When you want downtown living... JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: This is the way to do it.
You've got plenty of space for people to sit.
Plenty of space on the balcony.
And then you have a dining space.
JOHN: So, you know when you're exhausted and your guests go home?
Go to your bedroom.
Let's check it out.
First bedroom.
CHRISTINE: Oh, oh.
No, look.
JOHN: Whoa.
CHRISTINE: Look, look at that view.
Incredible.
JOHN: Amazing.
CHRISTINE: And I'm guessing maybe this is the primary.
I see a full bath, and look.
It's designed on the angle again.
JOHN: More interesting angles.
CHRISTINE: And I do, I like the double vanity there.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
I like this architect.
CHRISTINE: I know.
So do I. JOHN: Yeah.
And, you and I both love a good pocket door.
CHRISTINE: I just think it's just perfect for this condo.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Look at how much it just opens it up.
JOHN: Opens up.
CHRISTINE: I like it.
JOHN: And you know, let's go over to the other bedroom, but as we're walking, I see more angles in the ceiling.
CHRISTINE: You know, it's so funny when you come back to a space the other things you notice.
JOHN: Yep.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
Okay, so let's check out this room.
JOHN: Oh, could this be the primary?
CHRISTINE: Oh.
This does look a little bigger.
It doesn't have the walk-out balcony, though.
JOHN: No, but it's a cozy nook.
Both bedrooms are great.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: It doesn't matter... CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: Both very similar, but, uh... CHRISTINE: I'd rotate.
JOHN: Yeah, you can rotate.
CHRISTINE: Oh my goodness.
Look at this rain shower head.
Oh, wow.
JOHN: Oh, look at that.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
Oh, look it.
Oops.
Let me turn it off.
Now that's a shower head.
JOHN: All right.
While you just took a shower yourself.
CHRISTINE: I think I did.
JOHN: Well, be careful, because these floors look like glass.
But I think it's just ceramic or porcelain.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: With a very high glaze on it.
CHRISTINE: Well, I'm going to use your term again.
Chic.
JOHN: Yeah, I'm really confused.
Which is the primary suite?
I don't know... CHRISTINE: I don't know.
JOHN: I think they're equally great.
CHRISTINE: I'd be happy with either.
JOHN: Me, too.
CHRISTINE: Hey, Daryl.
DARYL: Hey.
JOHN: Hey, Daryl.
Wow, what a great pad.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: So what'd you love about it?
CHRISTINE: The view of that church from the bedroom.
DARYL: Beautiful, right?
JOHN: There are a lot of great views of 14th Street and the neighborhood.
DARYL: Even on a day like today, it's a little rainy, it's pretty bright in there.
CHRISTINE: If you're going to live downtown in the city, this is the place you want to live.
DARYL: Right.
JOHN: Yeah, we walked in right away.
We loved how dimensional the place was.
It made it very visually interesting and we had one word that summed it all up: chic.
CHRISTINE: Chic.
DARYL: Oh.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: Fun.
Fun.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: Before we guess the price, why don't you run through the stats for us one more time?
DARYL: Okay, so, Logan Circle, walkable everything.
The location is everything, right?
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
DARYL: It's two bedrooms, two and a half baths.
It's about 1200 square feet.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
DARYL: It does have two private terraces and it does have underground garage parking.
CHRISTINE: What's the condo fee?
DARYL: The condo fees around $800 a month.
JOHN: I'm going to make a guess of... $960,000.
CHRISTINE: Hm.
I'm just going to come in a little lower.
$925,000.
JOHN: I think that's a good guess, too.
DARYL: Well, you're both... not close.
The actual list price is 1.2.
JOHN: Oh, my gosh.
DARYL: You're the winner.
JOHN: I'm the winner.
CHRISTINE: Well, wait a second.
You were pretty far off to be the winner.
JOHN: Yeah, you know what?
I don't care.
I'm still the winner.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
(doorbell) Ribbit, ribbit.
