[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a condo, it's a co-op.

I think the unit itself is delightful and the views plus the terrace are awesome features. Also, is that an indoor pool? The only other building in DC that I know of that has an indoor lap pool is the K-W; those are super rare.

I don't think it's comparable to the Penn Ave apartment that PP posted -- the Wharf one is much larger and has a balcony and a view.

But yeah, I would not describe it as "priced to sell."

The mismatched old appliances and worn-out flooring are "delightful"?[/quote]

Floors look fine to me. Stove is white, so what, that's an easy fix if it bothers someone.  But it's sunny, it's roomy, it has great outdoor space and good amenities, and a fantastic view. I'd live there, although not at that price. [/quote]

I think the issue with those floors is that is that super old 70s style flooring, looks super ugly and dated in my view. But yeah replacing those prior to selling would have probably cost quite a bit. I would rather a lower price and then I get to pick what to replace with once I buy. But they totally mispriced this. Hells there is a new and modern condo in another building for like 1.1m. Seller got greedy I guess.

Furthermore agreed they should have redone the kitchen cabinets (just paint)and replaced the stove and microwave. It would not have cost them much to do that. It's a small kitchen so hiring someone to refinish paint that would probably be around 1-2k (2.5k was what we were quoted for a much bigger kitchen). Add a new stove for like 1k and microwave for 300. Anyway all in for under 4k they could have vastly improved that kitchen and therefore odds of selling. [/quote]

Eh, I've come around on parquet. I think it's old enough now that it has a fresh MCM feel. It's better than the greige hardwood that was everywhere for the past 10 years.[/quote]
I am pro parquet as well. And I love SW, and the MCM / forced gentrification architecture.

My issue is that the kitchen and one bathroom were redone in the 90s with no thought about design with the rest of the place. And the freaking price for the co-op. [/quote]
