Multiple Offers for a Quintessential Capitol Hill Rowhouse

This Federal-style rowhouse exemplifies everything that makes the Capitol Hill neighborhood a draw, from the cozy front porch to the backyard patio.

A shed behind the rear patio also offers additional storage. On the market for just about a week, a multiple offer situation resulted in the home selling at a $61,000 premium.

A $35,000 Premium For Brick, Stone, and Wood in Chevy Chase

The brick and stone-accented exterior of this Chevy Chase Tudor hints at the abundance of rustic features and nooks inside.

There are also several outdoor spaces: the dining room opens onto a lower level back porch, the finished attic has a balcony attached, and one of the bedrooms opens onto a screened-in porch. The whole package resulted in a $37,000 premium for the four-bedroom listing.
