First Friday-U St. Edition

This week, I'm featuring two condos around U St., NW.

1744 U St, NW #C

1744 U St, NW #C is more Adams Morgan than U St. Corridor.  It's a 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath condo for $417,000.  It's 831 square feet, the condo fee is $275 and the yearly taxes are $2,675.  It's a short walk to Dupont Circle,  Logan Circle or U St., two different Metro stops (Dupont or U St.), bars/ restaurants and two grocery stores.  It's two levels with hardwood floors in the upper level.  Upstairs is the living room and the fireplace, downstairs is the two carpeted bedrooms and 1.5 baths.  There's no virtual tour yet but the description says "a little dated."  It was built in 1981 so I'm thinking it's straight 80's:  laminate counters, cabinets that have the brown stripe and slightly choppy rooms.  A little updating would make it as fantastic as the location.

2120 Vermont Ave, NW #418

#418 living room

#418 kitchen with bar

2120 Vermont Ave, NW #418 is at the opposite end of U St, NW.  This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo with garage parking for $459,000.  It's 888 square feet, the condo fee is $488 and the yearly taxes are $3,718.  The property features an open floor plan, a lot of windows, high ceilings, hardwood floors, granite counter tops in the kitchen/baths and stainless steel appliances.  It's 2 blocks to the U St. Metro (green/yellow line), across the street from the 9:30 Club and minutes to various restaurants and bars.
