Best New Listings: The Perfect Backyard in Chevy Chase DC
In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a Takoma cottage, a Chevy Chase home with a great backyard and a corner store turned home on Capitol Hill.
A Former Corner Store on Capitol Hill
This home on Capitol Hill was once Johnston’s Corner Market, meaning it’s brighter and accommodates a more open layout than the typical Capitol Hill rowhouse. The market’s old wooden meat locker has been converted into a wet bar. The property could use some cosmetic work in places, but the brick arches and other architectural details give it an almost loft-like feel, a rarity in D.C. We previously took a look at the home in 2012, when it last sold.

A Takoma Cottage
While a little rough around the edges, this 1920s Takoma cottage has a great layout and original features like pine trim throughout the ground floor. There’s an unfinished basement that could provide extra living space and a deep backyard. For under $500,000, it is a good option for those looking at two-bedrooms in the city.

The Perfect Backyard in Chevy Chase DC
This 1928 Sears catalog home has been carefully renovated throughout, but this autumn, one of its selling points will be outside: the large, landscaped backyard that has ample room for a dining area and a fire pit. Inside, there is an eat-in kitchen with French doors leading to a screened-in porch, along with a dining room and a living room replete with built-ins. There’s an attached garage in the front of the house, and the home is about a 20-minute walk from the Friendship Heights Metro and about a block off of Connecticut Avenue NW.

- Price: $849,000
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: Two
