RICARDO: Is this right here in Wisconsin Avenue too?
CHRISTINE: Right on Wisconsin Avenue.
Welcome to property number one.
RICARDO: This is absolutely gorgeous.
It looks brand new.
CHRISTINE: It is brand new, it was built in 2024.
It's very rare to have brand new construction in Cleveland Park.
So rare that there was a historic home here that was built in the 1920s, and the developer picked the house up and moved it around the corner to make home street to be able to build this seven-story building.
JEN: You hear people joke about that, right?
I wish I could move this house here.
Well, here we are.
RICARDO: I'm really happy to hear that Cleveland Park is all about preservation, but what else can we expect to see once we get inside?
CHRISTINE: You're going to go in and tour the one-bedroom, one-bath condominium.
The property actually overlooks the house that was moved.
JEN: Oh cool, so we'll get to see it.
RICARDO: Yeah, that's wow, nice.
CHRISTINE: So you'll get to see that.
JEN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: I hope you guys have a great tour and I'll meet you back for the game.
JEN: All right, see you then.
RICARDO: Okay, after you.
JEN: Thank you, oh, wow.
RICARDO: Oh, okay.
JEN: The white oak floors, they're so nice.
RICARDO: I would worry that they would get dirty easily.
JEN: Any darker, and it would kind of make the space feel a little tighter... RICARDO: That's true.
JEN: Almost.
You know what we'll compromise?
We'll get a runner.
RICARDO: Hey, great idea, great idea.
JEN: Well, the bright star over here is the bedroom.
RICARDO: Plenty of space for a queen.
JEN: Let's see what we have in this closet.
Oh, some really nice built-ins.
This makes a big difference in a space that's a little smaller.
Let's see what else we've got.
Oh, wow.
RICARDO: Bathroom, look at this tile work.
I really, really like the veining.
JEN: The bench is a nice touch.
And then let's see, how many options do we have in the shower?
We have two shower heads, three wall jets, and a handheld.
RICARDO: Yeah, this is really luxurious.
And look this mirror, that's the kind that changes the lighting from warm to cool.
JEN: Hey, very helpful.
RICARDO: Ooh, sleek, modern.
JEN: There's a lot of options on how you could set this room up, but let's talk about my favorite thing, the kitchen.
It looks very sleek, especially with the matte cabinets.
RICARDO: Mm-hmm.
It's a nice modern touch not to have any hardware on them.
JEN: Yeah, and the porcelain tile.
RICARDO: Yeah.
With the white veining through, the contrast is the black veining in the bathroom.
JEN: I also really like the wide sink.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: It just makes cleaning so easy.
RICARDO: I love the black appliances.
You don't see that all the time.
JEN: And I am very excited though about our next stop...
BOTH: The balcony.
JEN: There's nothing better than outdoor space when you live in the city.
RICARDO: And this black and white theme they picked up from the inside.
JEN: And there's the house that they moved.
RICARDO: This is the house that they moved.
JEN: I think that seems worth it.
What do you think?
RICARDO: I think so.
It still looks good where it is.
JEN: I don't think I wanna leave, but I think I see Christine coming in, so we should probably go in for the game.
RICARDO: I'm ready, are you?
JEN: Sure, all right.
RICARDO: Okay, let's go.
CHRISTINE: Welcome back.
JEN: Hi Christine.
CHRISTINE: Hi.
RICARDO: Hello.
CHRISTINE: So how was your tour?
JEN: I was really impressed by the tile work from the bathroom to the kitchen, even out onto the balcony.
RICARDO: Yeah, I love the way that that helped unify this space.
Contrast between the black and white veining on the different marbles was a lovely touch too.
JEN: And all of the fixtures in that shower.
RICARDO: Yeah, it was luxurious.
JEN: I get that it's a 2024 build, but man, I almost feel like we're living in the future here.
(laughter).
Especially in this kitchen with the black matte cabinets and with the black stainless steel appliances.
So nice.
CHRISTINE: Yeah, it's very sleek and modern.
What did you think about no hardware on the cabinets?
RICARDO: Well, I didn't mind that actually.
I feel like the matte finish kind of makes this whole wall blend together.
CHRISTINE: Sort of makes the kitchen disappear.
RICARDO: Yeah.
JEN: Exactly.
RICARDO: All right, before we play the game, Christine, could you tell us what the stats are of this property one more time?
CHRISTINE: This is a one-bedroom, one-bath, 571 square feet, built in 2024.
Can you guess the price?
RICARDO: Do you wanna go first this time?
JEN: Sure.
RICARDO: Okay.
JEN: Um, I'm gonna guess an even half a mill, $500,000.
RICARDO: I'm gonna say a little higher.
I'm gonna say 505.
JEN: Oh, you're dirty.
(laughs).
CHRISTINE: You guys are very close.
The list price is $495,000.
JEN: Oh, no.
RICARDO: Oh.
JEN: We both went over.
RICARDO: We're both losers.
CHRISTINE: You were very close.
JEN: Very close.
RICARDO: We can take that.
JEN: Yeah, I'm proud of that, so.
RICARDO: Yeah, if you don't mind hanging out with some losers, we're looking at a couple more properties, we will definitely try to redeem ourselves.
JEN: Yeah, CHRISTINE: Okay, let's go.
JEN: All right.
