We're here at the Cairo.

12-story tall building, built in 1894, called the original residential skyscraper.

RICARDO: It is enormous.

BO: It is.

And that's the reaction Washington had when it was built: that it was enormous and too tall for the city.

So it actually inspired an act of Congress to limit the height of residential buildings.

JEN: Wait, so that doesn't have anything to do with the Capitol Building?

'Cause that's the urban legend.

BO: Right.

JEN: You know what I'm talking about?

RICARDO: This is what I thought all my life.

BO: No.

It's the Cairo.

JEN: Debunked.

BO: Debunked.

JEN: Today.

BO: But looking at the outside, you can see how the Egyptian theme and the name, "The Cairo," is reflected in the Moorish and Romanesque details.

RICARDO: So Bo, we are steps away from 17th Street, the main drag in Dupont Circle.

I did not realize that this was so close.

BO: It is.

17th Street is probably the most famous street in Dupont Circle.

It's filled with terrific restaurants, pubs, cafes, shopping.

The Safeway's right there.

JEN: What are some things that we shouldn't miss while we're inside?

BO: Well, the actual unit's got lots of personality.

And don't forget to go to the rooftop.

RICARDO: Ooh.

JEN: Oh.

BO: You're, yeah, 12 stories gives this a panoramic view of all of DC.

JEN: Oh, I guess so.

RICARDO: Gotta take a look at that.

We better get busy.

JEN: Yeah, let's get moving and we'll see you afterwards for the game.

BO: Sounds good.

RICARDO: Walking back in history.

JEN: Look how pretty this is.

RICARDO: I know.

It's so cute.

(gasps) JEN: This is so thoughtfully laid out.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: A work area, seating area, eating area.

RICARDO: What's jumping out at me is this wallpaper.

It really livens the space up.

JEN: Absolutely.

And then the exposed brick is amazing.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: This is definitely the type of room where I would not consider painting the brick.

RICARDO: Mm-mm, you wanna take a look at this kitchen?

JEN: Yeah.

RICARDO: Okay.

JEN: Wow.

RICARDO: Aw.

This is so cute.

You know I love how they really made good use of the vertical space in here with these really tall cabinets.

JEN: It's a little high up for me personally, but I love a two-tone and I always feel inspired to do it in my own house.

I also love how this color picks up this tile... RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

JEN: Which is a stick-on, so you can try a couple things, see what you like, see what sticks.

Um, but you don't have to spend a ton of money to liven up your space.

RICARDO: So let's see what's around here.

JEN: Okay.

RICARDO: This is bright.

Yeah, what do you think of the shower door?

I love the black detail on it.

JEN: Yeah, I would certainly pick up a tick-tack-toe game in here.

That would be fun.

And then the subway tile all the way to the ceiling.

And then just looking down, this tile is so sweet.

I love the little blue accents in here.

Let's check out the bedroom.

RICARDO: All right.

JEN: Oh, wow.

RICARDO: Oh.

JEN: This is great, with the exposed brick in here.

RICARDO: Yeah, and you've got these huge windows on either side, too, letting in all this natural light.

JEN: And then having all of this storage back here and the storage on top?

RICARDO: And even though this building was built in 1894, they were considerate enough to put in really high ceilings.

I love the tall ceilings in here.

JEN: Speaking of tall, why don't we pop up to the roof deck?

RICARDO: Oh, yeah, let's do it.

JEN: All right, let's go.

RICARDO: Okay.

Whoa.

Look at that.

Can you imagine watching the fireworks from up here?

JEN: Oh, man.

It's like a dream.

Look over here.

RICARDO: I know, there's a cathedral.

JEN: You know, this really is a huge bonus to this place.

RICARDO: Yeah.

I hate to say it, but we gotta get back downstairs and we gotta find Bo and play this game.

JEN: All right, let's go for it.

RICARDO: All right.

BO: How was the tour of the roof deck?

RICARDO: Oh, it was magnificent.

JEN: Thank you for recommending that we go up there.

I cannot imagine what the Fourth of July is like up there.

RICARDO: Yeah.

BO: You can't miss that.

And how was the tour here of the condo?

JEN: This unit is laid out really thoughtfully.

BO: I think they've made the most of the square footage and the storage options.

RICARDO: And one of my favorite features was the wallpaper in here.

So gorgeous.

BO: Terrific colors that are echoed in the cabinet paint and elsewhere.

RICARDO: So before we play the game, can I ask what the condo fee is on this unit?

JEN: Mm-hmm.

BO: So the condo fee is 493, and that covers the reserve funds, professional management, and water.

JEN: I love it when a utility is covered.

RICARDO: Mm-hmm.

BO: This home is one bedroom, one full bath, with 485 square feet.

The building was built in 1894 and the renovation was in 2023.

JEN: I'm gonna say 329,000.

BO: Okay.

RICARDO: I'm going higher than that.

Uh, I'm gonna say 400,000.

BO: The list price is... 399,000.

RICARDO: What?

BO: Just a little over.

RICARDO: Aw.

JEN: Aw.

BO: So "Price is Right" rules means Jen wins this one.

Congratulations, Jen.

RICARDO: I'm fine.

I'll be fine.

I'm okay.

BO: We're on to house number two, a terrific townhouse just a few blocks away.

JEN: Let's head out.

BO: Let's go.

JEN: After you.

RICARDO: Oh, this is terrible.
