Sunny Mount Pleasant One-Bedroom with Parking and Elbow Room

1651 Lamont Street NW, #2A (map)

• Price: $379,900
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 768

Most one-bedrooms in DC are small spaces that are just a step up from a studio, so it is nice to see that not all units fit this mold. This sunny condo in the heart of Mount Pleasant has almost 800 square feet of interior space, including a very spacious living and dining area that is flooded with light from six windows. (As the listing notes, the eventual buyer will probably not have to wonder “Where do I put this table?”) The kitchen was renovated recently and the unit also comes with a parking space.

This three-bedroom penthouse in Columbia Heights has the amenity that every home buyer seems to desire these days: private outdoor space.

Traditional American Foursquare in 16th Street Heights

1233 Crittenden Street NW (map)

• Price: $699,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1911

The American Foursquare is a home type that gained popularity in the early 20th century with a square design and usually four large, boxy rooms to a floor, and a large front porch with wide stairs. This five-bedroom that straddles 16th Street Heights and Petowrth conforms to that style with a wrap-around front porch, an easy flow to the main floor and rooms that have a “boxy” feel. The home has a bedroom suite on the third level, two rear decks and a large backyard. For the full listing, click here.
