AGENT: Frank and Mark Gentile, Citysites Realty Inc

THE PLACE: A newly constructed three-bedroom home with a contemporary look near Dupont’s bustling strip of design stores. 

BRAGGING RIGHTS: An abundance of glass—from the front exterior to the glass curtain running down the three flights of stairs—gives the house an undeniably clean vibe.

BIG SELLING POINT: The master ensuite feels like a Zen spa, with its rain showerhead, private deck and Japanese-inspired tub (though the square edges on the latter may take some getting used to).

POSSIBLE DEAL BREAKER: Your Windex budget would have to double, at least.

  5. Slovenly agents do not even have the property listed on their site.
    The openness is refreshing but I’m not too keen on the long-term viability of that glass enclosure along the main stairway ( I feel sorry for the movers!). Considering that the kitchen has been finished with the main appliances, why not include a washer/dryer combo in the utility room too?

  6. Pretty but not a family home.

    Small children, lots of fingerprints. That floating staircase is a hazard to pets and kids..

    And the kitchen? Where is the landing space around the fridge? Why all the cupboards away from the main preparation area? Who laid it out? Clearly, it was somebody who only does take-out.

  7. Like. Bit surprised to see that they went with 10′ ceilings on the 2nd floor and 9′ on the main floor (as opposed to the other way around).
