In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a two-bedroom home near Mount Vernon Square that has almost every amenity except a backyard and a three-bedroom Victorian on the northwest corner of Lincoln Park.

Mount Vernon Square Two-Bedroom Home With Everything But A Backyard

We are regularly on the lookout for homes that could be considered good alternatives to condos, and this 1,300 square-foot two-bedroom home not far from Mount Vernon Square seems to fit that bill. The first floor has a large living room that leads to a kitchen with a good-sized island and a small nook for a table. Both bedrooms on the second level have ample closet space and individual bathrooms. The back of the property has a small garden and patio and two off-street parking spots and there is a small patch of grass that makes up the front yard. For the full listing, click here.

• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Footage: 1,300

Three-Bedroom Victorian With Solarium on Lincoln Park

This three-bedroom bayfront Victorian sits on the northwest corner of Lincoln Park in Capitol Hill. Both the living room and dining room of the home have working fireplaces, but perhaps the coolest feature of the house is the barrel-vaulted roof solarium (right) that comes off the dining room. The chef’s kitchen was redone in 2006 with custom oak cabinetry and Viking appliances. The master bedroom is outfitted with custom built-ins and yet another fireplace and there are a number of Solatube skylights on the second floor. The property also has a rear garden, deck and pergola. For the full listing, click here.

   I sold a house right near Ridge last year with no yard and it was very difficult to sell.  People have lots of dreams of grilling out and such.  The number of times I hear, “There’s nowhere to put a grill….”  Good luck, looks like a great house
