Transformation Portfolio

Bethesda Beauty

This lovely two bed, two bath condo was directly across from Trader Joes in the desirable west-end neighborhood. It had spent many years as student housing. While the demand for move-in ready condo's was strong in this commuter's dream, the demand for run down condos was soft. This project was very successful at regaining equity for the seller.
