We're only a block from the metro near Georgetown, Trader Joe's, right in the heart of Foggy Bottom.
CHRISTINE: You feel like you're in your own little pocket of nature.
JOHN: And look, we can see the Watergate back here.
GIGI: Exactly.
You're so close to everything.
JOHN: Yeah.
Okay, well, shall we go take a look?
CHRISTINE: I think so.
JOHN: Okay, we'll see you after for the game.
GIGI: Sounds good.
CHRISTINE: All right.
JOHN: All right.
Starter house number one in Foggy Bottom, nice.
CHRISTINE: I know.
Nice hallway.
It's already starting off great.
JOHN: Love it.
CHRISTINE: Oh, wow.
How nice is this space.
JOHN: Nice den?
CHRISTINE: Oh, it's a perfect office space and the French doors really add just an open and airiness to it.
JOHN: Yeah.
I'm already digging the design of this place.
Let's check out the other room.
CHRISTINE: I was gonna say let's follow the hallway.
JOHN: Ah ha.
CHRISTINE: This view from floor to ceiling windows, and just opens up this space.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Oh, it's a patio door.
JOHN: Very nice.
Let that fresh air in.
I like it.
And, there's more to like.
CHRISTINE: Ah.
JOHN: Another great space.
CHRISTINE: Really.
I mean, look at the size of this kitchen.
JOHN: Yeah.
This kitchen is mwah.
CHRISTINE: Well, it's a surprise.
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Look at the counter space.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
CHRISTINE: And then plenty of cabinets.
JOHN: And I love these glass doors with the lights inside so you can showcase all your finest things in there.
Really nice.
And Tina, look at this.
An induction stove, boiling water in a minute.
Pretty cool.
And when you need to boil water, look at that.
CHRISTINE: Oh, a pot filler.
I know for you that's a luxury.
JOHN: It is.
So this has it all.
Even a washer and dryer in the back.
CHRISTINE: Nice.
JOHN: So, love it so far.
Let's check out the... CHRISTINE: Bedroom?
JOHN: Bedroom.
After you.
CHRISTINE: Thank you.
And what a great space.
JOHN: Now, isn't this cozy?
CHRISTINE: You are just drawn to the sliders.
You open that up... JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Let the breeze come through as you're sleeping.
JOHN: That park-like view?
CHRISTINE: Right.
And I like the bling of the chandelier.
JOHN: A little bling bling.
CHRISTINE: Mm-hmm.
JOHN: I love this place.
CHRISTINE: Let's continue.
Okay.
And here we have the bathrooms.
JOHN: Okay.
1978.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: And I think we had those in my house.
The tile floors.
Yeah.
I like them still.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
JOHN: And that pink marble, I like it.
I do.
CHRISTINE: And this is just a really great bath.
JOHN: Okay, well first house down.
CHRISTINE: I know.
JOHN: Let's go guess.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
JOHN: Come on.
Let's find Gigi.
Hey, Gigi.
GIGI: How did you like the home?
JOHN: I loved this home.
CHRISTINE: We really did.
I mean, the minute you walk in, your eyes are drawn to the patio doors and that view.
JOHN: And it has great spaces from this living room to the kitchen.
CHRISTINE: That kitchen was a complete surprise.
When you think of this size of a condo, you're thinking of a small kitchen.
Okay?
This was not.
Plenty of cabinet space, plenty of counter space.
JOHN: And the pot filler?
Nice.
CHRISTINE: In the bedroom, it's just as nice because you've got the view and some bling with the chandelier... GIGI: And it has that great den to work in.
JOHN: Yeah.
They fit so much into this place.
I love it.
CHRISTINE: So, before we guess we do have some questions.
GIGI: Sure.
CHRISTINE: What is the condo fee?
GIGI: It's 814 a month and includes parking.
CHRISTINE: Does it include anything else?
GIGI: Well, the building itself has the great roof deck where you can see the Potomac.
CHRISTINE: A rooftop deck?
JOHN: Yeah.
CHRISTINE: Now that... JOHN: Big plus.
Love it.
CHRISTINE: Yeah.
JOHN: All right.
Christina's gonna guess first, but why don't you run through the stats of this place for us one more time?
GIGI: Sure, so it's one bedroom, one bath, 754 square feet built in 1978.
Can you guess the list price?
CHRISTINE: I'm going to bring my listing price in at... $525,000.
GIGI: Okay.
JOHN: Okay.
GIGI: John, what do you think?
JOHN: Gigi, I'm gonna play the game a little bit.
I'm gonna give you a guess of 425.
GIGI: Okay.
CHRISTINE: Ooh, that's a big difference.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
GIGI: So Christine's at 525 list price and you're at 425 list price.
JOHN: Mm-hmm.
GIGI: The actual list price is 499.
CHRISTINE: Oh.
GIGI: John is the winner.
CHRISTINE: Okay.
All right.
JOHN: All right.
