Property details
About 490 M Street Sw W-705 & 709
1400 square foot Combined unit for Sale! West building, 7th floor, River views, Southern exposure! Rarely available (maybe first in 24 years?) combined unit with 1,400 square feet of space at Tiber Island available for sale! The combined unit--formerly a One Bedroom and a Efficiency--is a blank slate. It was combined several decades ago but no effort was made to configure it into it's potential. There have been several combined units completed at Tiber over the years and two adjacent units similar to these have been converted into a three-bedroom floor plan. A sample floor plan of a potential three bedroom design is in the photos section. Some have opened up the efficiency kitchen and made that that the kitchen for the combined unit. Whichever kitchen you remove can be converted into a laundry room which is permissible (upon Tiber Island approval). This combined unit needs a complete renovation (kitchens have original 1966 olive colored cabinets in very poor condition, and original appliances that are pretty much unusable). Bathrooms are original and could be made functional, but are in poor condition. The cooperative fees are equivalent those of a one bedroom and efficiency unit. Garage parking space available, but not included, for additional $50,000. This is a unique opportunity to have a 1,400 square foot unit at Tiber (the largest original floor plan is a 1,220 square foot two bedroom (with a single balcony).
