A U Street Corridor Top Floor Two-Bedroom

This home bordering the U Street Corridor and Columbia Heights has a living space with a large bank of windows and an adjacent fireplace.Though the living, dining and kitchen areas are open, we like the current owner’s dining nook off the galley-style kitchen. The listing has a study that looks like it might fare better in a university’s office building, but the space could be used to create a more comfortable space for reading or working. The two bedrooms are spacious, particularly the master, which has an en suite bath.

• Full Listing: 1455 Florida Avenue NW, #3A (map)
• Price: $769,000
• HOA Fee: $367/month
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1900
• Listing Agent: Claudine Chetrit, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

A Victorian Four-Bedroom in Silver Spring

This Ritchie Avenue four-bedroom has a classic Victorian look with a wrap-around front porch and upstairs deck. Inside are four bedrooms — one on the main floor is fairly small — with a nicely-updated kitchen and a family room, where sliding doors lead out onto a deck and a very deep backyard. The home also has a formal dining room and living room separated by a fireplace.

• Full Listing: 631 Ritchie Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland (map)
• Price: $595,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1910

A Capitol Hill Rowhouse with Plenty of Nooks

This home, last sold in 2008, has been immaculately renovated in the last six years. Throughout the house, multi-level spaces and careful use of exposed brick make a visitor feel like they’re exploring a castle, with cozy places to chat, window seats to read, built-in bookshelves, a loft in one bedroom, a study with a library at the top of the stairs and a built-in breakfast nook in the updated kitchen. An outdoor patio and a lower level suite round out a listing that won’t be around for very long.

• Full Listing: 1004 D Street SE (map)
• Price: $1,079,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1908
• Listing Agent: Peter Raia, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
