| DESCRIPTION: |
 |
The unit is located in a 21-unit mansion that was
formerly the private winter residence of the Noyes family (they
owned the now-defunct Washington Evening-Star newspaper), built
in 1908. The building was converted into condominiums in the 1980s
by Keener Squire. The unit was renovated again in July of 2001.
In April 2002, the heat pump/central air conditioner was fully replaced
(both inside and outside units) and a programmable electronic thermostat
was installed. |

| COURTYARD ENTRY: |
|
 |
The condo is situated facing the quiet tree-lined
side streets at the rear of the building, away from any traffic
noise. A courtyard secured by an electronically locked gate provides
an intimate entryway to the condo, as well as secure and convenient
bike storage. |

| ENTRANCE AND LIVING ROOM: |
|
 |
|
 |
| A flight of interior stairs provides a home-like feel
to the condo, and opens into a dramatic living room with gleaming
hardwood floors, a marble fireplace, and spectacular views. With
windows everywhere, sunlight showers this fantastic space, accenting
its unique features such as arches, built-in bookshelves, and high
ceilings. Only the wall behind the kitchen is shared with another
unit, so this condo feels more like your own quiet home. At night,
you'll notice the artful track lighting and enjoy the intimacy of
this rare find. |

| KITCHEN: |
|
 |
As part of the 2001 renovation, all major kitchen
appliances were replaced (dishwasher, refrigerator with icemaker,
glass-top electric stove, built-in microwave). There is plenty of
storage space in the cherry wood cabinets. |

| SUNROOM/DEN: |
|
Sunlight emanates from the glass-enclosed sunroom,
perfect for an office or small den. This creative space features
exposed brick and Berber carpeting, topped off with a clever "indoor
window," channeling the sunlight throughout the apartment.

| BATHROOM: |
| The bathroom was renovated
in July 2001 (new tile floor, new sink, toilet, new washer/dryer)
and is rather spacious. Enjoy a bath or a shower in the tub, with
the convenience of the washer/dryer tucked away in a nearby nook.

| BEDROOM: |
|
You'll never get bored in
the bedroom with its uniquely angled ceilings, decorative black
marble fireplace, and immense light streaming in through the two
windows (with blackout shades, too). Wall-to-wall Berber carpeting
and the deep closet make this bedroom a perfect living space. |

| ROOF DECK: |
Exiting the main entrance
and walking up a half-flight of exterior stairs, you'll arrive at
the private roof deck space. This roof deck is part of the unit,
and there are some chairs and a grill out there. Perfect for barbeques
(the grill and chairs will be there for your use).

| THE NEIGHBORHOOD: |
Located in the heart of Dupont Circle near 18th and S Streets,
nearly everything is within walking distance including the Red
Line Metro (the Green Line at
U Street/Cardozo is also closeby). Within a few blocks' walk,
you'll find
two grocery stores ,
convenience stores ,
3 movie theaters , and countless bars, restaurants and clubs
including
Kramerbooks , Xando/Cosi
,
5 Starbucks (yes, not kidding, 5),
Lauriol Plaza Restaurant, and Eighteenth
Street Lounge to name a few. Explore the legendary nightlife
of Adams-Morgan
or walk to Farragut Square for lunch. The tree-lined streets of
Dupont Circle truly offer a cozy neighborhood feel within the bustling
center of downtown Washington, DC.

| LEASE DETAILS: |
All the appliances in the apartment are electric, so your only
utility bill will be for electricity. The relatively new air conditioning unit
along with the programmable thermostat is very energy efficient.
Water is included in the rent price.
The monthly rent is $2050,
and there is a non-refundable $35 application fee for each person whose name will appear on the lease, and a $1500 security deposit required.
You will be asked to commit to a 1 year lease.
No pets are allowed, and 2 clauses will be added to the lease: 1. Because the owner
lives abroad, you will be asked to give 60 days notice before vacating the lease, so he
has sufficient time to find a new tenant.
2. The owner may terminate the lease early if he decides to move into the apartment
himself (not to give it to friends), but he will give a minimum of 120 days (4 months)
notice if this will occur. It is very unlikely this will occur.
|
| OTHER INFORMATION: |
The owner lives in Europe, but you can contact him by email or via an 800 phone number if any questions or problems arise. I don't expect there to be any problems as all the appliances are fairly new.
You will also be provided the name of a local contact, and a local address where you can mail your monthly rent check.

| FLOORPLAN: |
Note the layout of the bathroom is incorrect, and there is an additional
closet in the living room. This floorplan was made before the recent renovation. |
