Luv the Whittier!

I like the Whittier condos in Takoma Park–DC side–because they offer that cool extra sun room, have huge living rooms and large kitchens. They have a front and back door–so they feel more like a home. The finished-in-place hardwood floors give a classy, clean and solid foundation to the condo. They maintained the original panelled wooden interior doors, sanded them and refinished them to look like new–but maintained the classic glass doorknobs. Because the doors themselves are old and solid wood core, they have a heavy, rich feel–unlike most new construction which is, if lucky, solid fiber board or pressed wood and, if unlucky, some sort of plastic. In the bathroom the builder’s goal was to recreate the original quality and style. So there is glazed, white subway tile in the shower/tub, white grey granite for the vanity and the classic mosaic-like black and white and black hand-laid tile on the floor. It makes for a spa-like retreat! Add to that the fact that you can walk to the Takoma Park metro and some cute shops, cafes and a gas station. I like too that you are just a quick bike ride or drive up Blair Rd to downtown Silver Spring. I think the prices are quite close to the market. They have sold a lot of them—there were a lot to sell!— but the last ones are sitting. Anyone have any thoughts as to why?(I have mine—just want to see what people are thinking)
