Prime Property | Washington, DC | Logan Circle
|
Enjoy panoramic views of Logan Circle from this sunlit, two-bedroom, two-bathroom condo in an historic (1880) mansion. Spacious at approximately 1,250sf, classic features abound in this home, including soaring ceilings, ornate moldings and hardwood floors. Professionally designed interior by Brooklyn-based Amy Samelson features gourmet kitchen, in-ceiling sound system, gas fireplace and abundant storage. Private terrace and one parking space included in a pet-friendly building.
The Logan Circle Historic District is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This approximately eight-block area is a unique, virtually unchanged example of a prosperous, late-19th-century residential neighborhood constructed around a large open urban space. The focal point of the district is Logan Circle, an important element of the 1791-92 L'Enfant Plan and Ellicott Plans for the Federal City. Impressive three-and-four-story townhouses, closely grouped, surround the circle and some of the radial streets. Nearly all were constructed during the 25-year period between 1875-1900 and present an almost solid street façade of Late Victorian and Richardsonian architecture.
Studio Theatre, ChurchKey, Logan Tavern, Le Diplomate, sweetgreen, Dolcezza and Whole Foods nearby.

Interior Design | Industrial Chic
|
Industrial interior design is popular for decorating lofts and old buildings converted into living spaces, although it can be used for traditional apartments and houses, too. What you need for this style is to create an illusion of rough surfaces and materials that suggest an industrial past. The simplest way to show roughness is to leave some walls or surfaces unfinished. In addition to some rough metal elements that will create an industrial atmosphere, you are looking for old industrial-looking objects that are made from steel, metal or wood. These items are preferably worn down or have been salvaged and recycled. (

Washington Market Summary for January 2017

Manhattan Residential Sales Market Report January 2017
The new year kicked off with a handful of positive market shifts--as sales activity in both the condo and co-op market saw annual growth. The co-op market saw better metrics, including year-over-year improvements in average price and average price-per-square-foot, growing by 14% and 45%, respectively. However, in the condo market--average price, median price, and average price-per-square-foot were down compared to last year. Total inventory rose versus January 2016 for both condos and co-ops, while negotiability also grew more pronounced over the same period of time. Listings in the co-op market sold faster than in the condo market, where average days on market grew 37% compared to last year.

Brooklyn Residential Sales Market Report January 2017
In Brooklyn, contract activity for the month of January was virtually unchanged over the last year. Listed inventory rose 8% year-over-year, driven by the 18% rise in listings versus last year. Median sale price remained nearly the same compared to last year, up just 2% from January 2016. On the other hand, average price rose 15% year-over-year, skewed by a townhouse asking $16M in Brooklyn Heights. Last month the average price difference from last ask to sale was deeper than a year ago, but the discount was primarily due to greater discounts in the townhouse market. Increased negotiability corresponded with a slight rise in days on market of 6%.

Manhattan and Brooklyn Residential Rental Market Report January 2017
In January 2017, the average monthly rental price for a Manhattan studio was $2,318. For one-bedroom homes, the average was $3,068. For two-bedrooms, the average rent was $4,072. Finally, the average three-bedroom apartment rented for $5,254.
In comparison, Brooklyn studio apartments (in the 14 neighborhoods studied) rented for $2,274 per month on average. For Brooklyn one-bedrooms, the average rent was $2,780, while rents for two- and three-bedrooms clocked in at $3,611 and $4,869, respectively.
In January, the Manhattan vacancy fell to 1.90% from December's rate of 2.13%. However, the rate is unchanged when compared a year prior.
When examining concessions, a full 37% of rental transactions brokered by Citi Habitats offered a free month's rent and/or payment of the broker fee to entice new tenants in January-up slightly from 35% in December. Looking year-over-year however, their prevalence increased substantially. In January 2016, only 17% of leases offered a move-in incentive.
"We remain in an uneasy equilibrium. Tenants are still very price-sensitive--while landlords continue to resist lowering rents--but begrudgingly, they still transact," explained Gary Malin, President of Citi Habitats. "It's a value-driven market now. The dynamics of our city have changed in that apartment-seekers are much more open to a variety of neighborhoods. They want to know what's out there before they sign a lease, and they expect a deal."
