D Sale of the Week: The Drexel Montane

The Drexel Montane (2848 Woodside St.), in State Thomas, houses some of the best condo buys in town. Unit 205 is a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath corner unit on the second floor with private elevator, three fireplaces (how cozy), four balconies, crown moldings, 10-foot ceilings, concierge, and travertine and wood floors—all just a short drive from the Crescent, where owners can obtain health club memberships. These boutique units have all the flash and amenities of the rich kids down the block—Azure, Ritz-Carlton, W—for a whole lot less. HOAs are currently running .32 per square foot under the management of Worth Ross and Associates. Saucy neighbors: the building is a kind of quiet hideout for many local sports pros and, until recently, Mi Cocina founder Mico Rodriguez. Must be those private elevators—a Drexel signature. Unit 205 has been reduced from $517,900 to $497,500, so the seller is very motivated—which he has to be, because there are plenty of other units available in this class-act building.
