    The "art studio" space was one science class room. And, it NEEDS TO BE MINE!!!!!
    As a professional interdisciplinary artist/designer I always wanted to either have a large warehouse or school as live-work spaces for Black creatives...
    Whoever their child is can never get a punishment of "Go to your room, right now and don't come down until dinner!" If I'm this child I'd be like, "Yes, please send me to my room - thank you!!!"
    OMG/G!!! The two lower level "studio" spaces sold me! I'd by this in a second!!!

      @daddygrace253 5 месяцев назад

      It is not your city. Also, your being born in Washington doesn't make you more special than other Washingtonians and U.S. citizens that's lived here for many years. There are people born and raised in D.C. that moved to other U.S. cities and have lived there for many years. D.C. is the only place where I hear blacks saying, I am a Washingtonian like that means something. Most blacks in D.C. roots are in North & South Carolina. I wasn't born in D.C. but I have lived here for 50 years and I consider myself a Washingtonian. I was born and raised in Greensboro, North Carolina and I left there at 18 years old to attend Georgetown University. All 3 of my children were born and raised in D.C. When I visit Greensboro, I get lost because I've been gone for many years and I loss tires with that city as most people that moved North to Philly and New York City in the 40's & 50's.

Endless design possibilities. 2 Huge gigantic studios and another 1000sqft of unfinished space in the unit?!?!? WTF? I'm dumbstruck. Worth every penny hands down - especially at DC rates (no mention of condo fees, maintenance, governance, neighborhood amenities, etc.) If those studios can be zoned for commercial user or rentals, the whole thing could pay for itself. Nonetheless. More like this please. Enjoying your channel immensely.

    My grandma's old school in a very small town that never seems to restore anything managed to get bought by an organization that remodeled it and converted it into much needed apartments. They kept as much of the details as possible - particularly the stair railings, doors, and indoor trim. The apartments themselves are kind of boring, but they have at least 10' ceilings and it's lovely they restored the 120 year old building.

Also add more bedrooms in lower level since they are so big. The living space in the primary bedroom needs to remove the two small beds and make them an office and craft area.

    Hey Jonathan! 🙋🏾‍♀️ I love this space!! When I hear condo, I hear an additional $400+ per month. You didn't mention if there were condo fees. This space has so much potential for upgrades. I just love the spacious rooms. I wonder if the unfinished space we didn't see could be a garage space? That would be awesome if it could. I think the price is fair. However, I think the next owner may want to renovate. You would need a substantial amount available after purchase to at least start or complete any renovations or upgrades. I'd also want at least 1 more bathroom. Great condo!

    If i had the money YES!!! This is worth the 2.5! This is the only place i do not care what the price is but THIS is my style! I currently live in a loft that was a school 100 years ago and LOVE IT! I can never go back to a traditional stick build. It’s something about the character and charm that’s only a particular type of person would appreciate. To keep that old rustic charm is a plus! I tend to dislike how people modernize and take away from the aesthetics of a building like this. Things from the door knobs on to the baseboards back in the day were top tier compared to what we have now. Sorry for the long comment but i LOVE this place! The amount of space and LIGHT!

I would change up a couple things, the castle room is cute but I would change it since I don’t have kids. The clutter in the studios definitely needs to be cleaned up especially for that price point. I know it’s a studio but I have seen several organized studios and especially if it’s on the market.

    As a child I grew up across the street from that place. The original people that bought it out and turned it in the condos kicked, every little kid that played outside off of the property.. We came out to play throwback football.An ascection at area will be used to play every day for years. All of a sudden, we get white people yelling at us get off their property. Which left us to play football in the street with traffic. They had a unused parking lot that used to belong to the school that we set up a basketball court because my parents wouldn't let us go all the way up by mckinley tech to play basketball because we were so young. They snatched it down yet this stuff like this happens all the time in dc. The city and people that move into places like this.Do not care about the neighborhood and the youth that live in it. They move. In the neighborhood and claim it as their own forgetting , those who live there before or currently live there. It used to be.
    A store directly crossed from it called Earls. The kids and the parents of that neighborhood relied on that store because it's not too many grocery stores around. Overtime to the people in the condo, acting a fool they closed. Plenty of kids that used to go to McKinley tech will come down for lunch from Langley junior hi, can you do that?No more. I guess it's time for a new group of people to move in there and not care about the neighborhood and the people that kept it up before they moved into that Building.

    They need to subdivide those extra spaces to create studio apartments. It may bring down the price of that finished penthouse unit. Buyers are more willing to bid on finished and staged units . Those lamps and paint cans etc. in those rooms are a turnoff to a prospective buyer. Empty those rooms and offer prospective buyers an opportunity to finish it their way.
