Capitol Hill Condo For Sale

It was hard to believe - or maybe it wasn’t so hard to believe. We sold our Capitol condo a year and a half ago to move to northern Virginia. I was surprised to see that it was for sale in such a short period of time. We lived in DC thirteen years; however, I would say half the tenants in that building moved in very short periods of time. It’s tough living in an 1890’s structure! When I looked at the photos of the interior on the website I was amazed at what had been done to the unit. We installed a Murphy bed/tv combo and made the “closet” in to a monks room with a twin bed, blackout shade, and storage shelves. Everything was completely changed and the Murphy bed disappeared. I only hope that it wasn’t ripped out and thrown away, but taken somewhere for good use. It was custom built and very expensive and took me a long time to consider our best option. We had no place in our new condo for it to fit so it was very disappointing to see it gone. Everything about the redecoration, paint, and style was so not our taste. One of our neighbors there had mentioned he was surprised at what she had done to it - “to each his own.”  For someone who did so much to redo the unit goes against wanting to leave it in such short order. I am certain it will sell in a week, but definitely in a month’s time. It’s sad to see, but not really unexpected.
