JEN: I love this.

CHRISTINE: Well, welcome to property number two.

JEN: Driving through the neighborhood, this does not seem like a common style for Cleveland Park.

CHRISTINE: No, it is not.

What is typical is 1920s homes that were much larger, Victorian and Queen Anne style homes.

This is a Cape Cod built in 1957.

RICARDO: So Christine, what is it that makes a Cape Cod a Cape Cod?

CHRISTINE: You'll see the dormer windows at the top, the gabled roof, which is a single peak, the bay window at the front, and there's a setback from the street all the way to the front door.

RICARDO: I love having a little bit of green space outside there.

JEN: Yeah.

CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm, and we can walk straight on down to Connecticut Avenue.

There's the Cleveland Park Metro, the Cleveland Park Library.

It really has it all.

RICARDO: Sounds super convenient.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: When we get in the house, what should we expect to see?

CHRISTINE: You're gonna see some original features to the 1957 home and upstairs you're going to see an authentic bathroom that was saved.

JEN: Wow, I'm looking through the bay window straight into the kitchen.

So I'm very intrigued and really looking forward to getting inside.

CHRISTINE: I will see you guys after.

Please enjoy your tour.

JEN: Ooh.

RICARDO: Oh, nice and airy and bright.

This light pine really looks nice.

JEN: Beautiful, I'm loving this banister.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: And the wainscoting.

I'm excited to look around.

Look at all these beautiful windows.

RICARDO: And this fireplace, I love it.

JEN: And the green marble is so different.

RICARDO: Yeah, it pops though.

JEN: Really, really does.

And I think the built-ins are just so pretty with this ornate pattern.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm, yeah, they're recessed cutouts, so you don't have to take up room in the rest of the space.

JEN: I'm so happy to see a lot of the 1957 touches so far.

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Oh, Jen, here's the bay window.

Look at this.

JEN: Oh, I could probably sit here all day.

RICARDO: But we have more house to look at.

I like this kitchen.

JEN: Yeah, my eye is drawn to these white appliances.

RICARDO: And the gold hardware makes it pop even more.

JEN: Yeah, and I'm blending in a little bit here.

(laughs) Um, I think it just goes to show how much I love a sage.

I think they've even covered the dishwasher with... (laughs) How cool is that?

This is so thoughtful.

I think that they really wanted it to just have some interesting details.

RICARDO: Farmhouse sink, I love that.

JEN: And this island is perfect.

It's giving extra storage.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm, extra seating.

JEN: Yeah.

I love a sweet little patio.

How nice.

Even a little bit of outdoor space in the District is amazing.

Oh, hello.

RICARDO: Yeah, look at this.

JEN: I could totally see this being a guest room.

RICARDO: Or just a hangout spot.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: Maybe even a library.

You've got all this shelving here for books.

JEN: I will always find a place to put a library.

RICARDO: What do you think is around this corner?

JEN: Well, let's go find out.

RICARDO: All righty.

Oh.

JEN: Oh, here's our half bath.

RICARDO: I like the wallpaper.

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: And this paneling on the wall, that's nice.

JEN: And the tile, you know I'm a fan of the honeycomb.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Well, I'm excited to see the surprise in the upstairs bathroom.

RICARDO: Oh, yeah, let's go check that out.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Wainscoting goes all the way up the stairs.

JEN: So nice, oh, look at this.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: Built-in linen closet.

Oh, this must be the primary.

Big and bright.

RICARDO: It's really, really nice.

And these are the dormer windows that she's talking about.

That's a really, really cool touch.

JEN: Really cool, and definitely big enough for a...

BOTH: Cali King.

JEN: Our favorite.

RICARDO: Yeah.

JEN: What else do we have here?

Let's take a peek in here.

RICARDO: Okay.

Jen, this is my childhood bathroom.

This tile... JEN: What?

RICARDO: Is exactly the same tile in the house that I grew up in, in Hillcrest.

JEN: Was everything in your bathroom blue too?

RICARDO: Maybe by the time I came around, the blue sink and the blue everything else was changed out to white, but the floor is exactly the same.

JEN: I have to say this is in pretty decent condition.

RICARDO: It is really good condition.

JEN: Well, are you ready to move on from your childhood and see what else there is up here?

RICARDO: I am, let's go.

I'll let you lead the way.

JEN: All right, take one last look back.

RICARDO: Goodbye childhood.

JEN: Okay, one room left.

Oh, wow, another really nice size room.

RICARDO: Yeah, and dormer windows in here letting in all this natural light.

JEN: I really love being able to see this beautiful tree that's outside.

Oh, what's over here?

Oh, it's a nice big closet.

I mean, look at that.

Pretty good.

RICARDO: It is.

JEN: Well, I think that's it.

So maybe it's time to go find Christine for the game.

And maybe this time we won't bust.

RICARDO: Fingers crossed.

JEN: All right.

RICARDO: Let's go.

CHRISTINE: Welcome back, what did you think of the house?

JEN: This was a good one.

RICARDO: Yeah, this was really, really nice and a lot of unexpected things.

The bathroom upstairs took me right back to when I was a kid.

Growing up in Hillcrest, D.C., I had the exact same tile work.

It was clearly the original sink, the original tub, but it was like it was brand new.

CHRISTINE: And it just creates this nostalgia.

RICARDO: It really does.

CHRISTINE: So what did you think of the kitchen since you had the same color combo?

JEN: I know, I loved fitting right in and I really loved the white appliances with the gold accents.

And my favorite part was that they kind of hid the dishwasher with the cabinet facing.

RICARDO: Yeah, and the bay window, what a great place to just sit and take in the outside.

JEN: Yeah, we had to drag each other away.

CHRISTINE: This is a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath, 1,760 square feet, including the basement.

And it was built in 1957 and renovated in 2021.

What is your guess on the price?

JEN: I went first last time, so... RICARDO: I'll go first this time.

JEN: Please do the honors, sir.

RICARDO: Okay, I am just gonna jump right in there and say $1 million.

JEN: You're just gonna guess a straight mil?

Wow.

All right, well, I'm gonna be less conservative and I'm gonna guess 1,310,000.

CHRISTINE: The list price is 1,339,000.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: So close.

CHRISTINE: You're so close.

JEN: A million though?

RICARDO: Well, I didn't want to go over this time.

JEN: Oh, well, we did say we didn't wanna bust.

That's true.

RICARDO: Okay.

CHRISTINE: Let's get Ricardo a win at the next house.

We're going from the 1950s to the 1920s.

JEN: Ooh.

CHRISTINE: Let's go.

JEN: Heading back in time, all right.

RICARDO: Right, that's exciting.
