It can be stressful selling a property for a friend. In fact, some opt to never help friends purchase or sell property. The risk of losing a friend to 'the deal' is just too stressful. Others, on the other hand use it an an opportunity to rise to the challenge and raise the bar. We opted for the latter.

This two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom condo duplex lives like a townhouse with 1,571 square feet of beautifully designed and appointed modern living in Columbia Heights. Two outdoor spaces bring the total square footage to 1,800. The home’s two levels have an integrated A/V system and receive rich natural light from oversized windows, glass doors and transoms. Light floods into the second-floor living room from a wall of windows, illuminating a first glimpse of the tray ceilings that extend throughout the home. Brazilian cherry hardwood floors flow through to the kitchen that features warm two-tone Christiana cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel, and deluxe amenities: a Sub Zero refrigerator, Dacor gas range, and Miele dishwasher. A breakfast bar opens onto the sunny open family/dining room with handsome gas fireplace and direct balcony access to the secure parking spot below. Downstairs are two spacious master suites elegantly appointed with the home’s signature tray ceilings and recessed lighting, walk-in closets, and Carrara marble bathrooms. A laundry room with Bosch washer and dryer and extra storage space complete the spacious lower level. Relax in the backyard or on the private balcony; When you want to venture out, it’s .4 miles to the Columbia Heights Metro and less than a block to 14th Street.
