            <title>Parker Flats:  Loft Condos in a DC Schoolhouse</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 



In a city short of vacant land, the adaptive re-use of obsolete buildings has become the norm for developers.  One of the best transformations in recent years is the Parker Flats at Gage School project located on the border of LeDroit Park and Bloomingdale neighborhoods.  This 92-unit project is anchored by the meticulously restored circa 1904 Gage School which houses 33 loft-style condos.  The project also includes two new buildings designed to complement the historic neighborhood and a 70-space underground parking garage.Parker Flats developer finishes in many of the Gage School units include exposed brick, 14-foot ceilings, 12-ft historically accurate windows, stainless appliances, granite counters and maple cabinets.  Common amenities include underground parking, fitness room, additional storage units and a fenced courtyard.  The Parker Flats project was designed by Bostra Haresign.Currently, two units are available for sale at Parker Flats including a 1 BR + den / 1 BA /  871 SF unit listed by TTR Sotheby's International Realty for $389,900.  Here is a resource to learn more about and view active Parker Flats at Gage School real estate listings.

            <title>Olive Street in Georgetown's East Village</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


Kathleen Parker's column, Leaving Olive Street but Keeping the Memories, in yesterday's Washington Post highlighted the human side of this beautiful East Village street.&nbsp; It was fun to learn that Mary Jo Kopechne and Julia Child had lived on Olive Street and that the street appeared on the screen in both &quot;Burn After Reading&quot; and &quot;Wedding Crashers.&quot;

Stretching just three blocks from 27th Street to 30th Street, this bucolic piece of Georgetown has much to offer.&nbsp; At the 27th Street end of Olive, the extensive Rock Creek Park Trails provide endless opportunities for fitness and fun.&nbsp; The shopping and dining of both Georgetown and Dupont Circle are within walking distance and are frequented by East Village residents.

The architecture along Olive Street includes traditional Georgetown row houses, many of which have remained intact as single-family residences.&nbsp; Additionally, the renovated Phillips School Condos and newer Phillips Row developments are located on Olive Street.&nbsp; 

Here is a resource to view active Olive Street real estate listings.

            <title>DC Schoolhouse Conversions</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 


&nbsp;

The&nbsp; District is home to several wonderful condo developments whose buildings had a prior life as a DC public school.&nbsp; With very limited vacant land, height restrictions and an ever-growing demand for upscale lofty condos, these school conversions are a concept that works well in the District for both the city as well as the developer.&nbsp; In other parts of the country, many old and underutilized school buildings end up on the losing end of an encounter with the wrecking ball.Common attributes of DC schoolhouse conversion projects include high ceilings, over-sized windows, exposed brick and outdoor courtyard areas.&nbsp; Many school conversion projects have taken advantage of the ceiling height to create a loft environment.Schoolhouse conversion projects have been completed throughout the District including Capitol Hill, Georgetown and Logan Circle neighborhoods. Currently units in schoolhouse conversions are available at: Bryan School Lofts $1.595M; Berret School Lofts $639,000; Lovejoy Lofts $399,000 &amp; $438,444 and Wormley Row $1.995MOther schoolhouse conversion projects in the district which currently do not have any active listings include: Carberry School Lofts and Lenox School Lofts.
