Not Your Normal Colonial in Cleveland Park

Colonials in DC usually have a fairly predictable interior, but this new five-bedroom on the northern boundary of Cleveland Park does not. The best part of the house is the kitchen, a spotless white renovation that shares space with a living or dining area and looks out onto the patio through a wall of windows and French doors. The home hit the market in May, was under contract in five days and recently sold for $55,000 above its list price.

• Address: 3749 Upton Street NW (map)
• List Price: $1,499,000
• Sold Price: $1,554,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 4.5
• Year Built: 1941
• Days on Market: Five
• Listing Agent: Florence Meers, Washington Fine Properties
