Condo of the Week: $1.75 million for an Annex loft with a private rooftop patio

Bragging Rights: You get the the majestic brick exterior of an educational institution, but none of the school-standard linoleum floors and fluorescent lighting. Instead, the interiors are fitted out with hardwood, marble and sparkly chandeliers.

Big Selling Point: The open kitchen and living room lend themselves to entertaining, while the bedrooms are tucked away in private corners of the suite.

Possible Deal Breaker: Plenty of nearby schools means plenty of nearby spots where students like to congregate—sometimes not so quietly.

By the Numbers: • $1,749,000 • $1,248.08 in monthly maintenance fees • 2,092 square feet • 9.6-foot ceilings • 3 bathrooms • 2 bedrooms • 2 parking spots •  2 balconies • 1 storage locker
