Mount Rainier is not just a neighborhood for the area’s budding artists. As this property illustrates, it is also a neighborhood where quality homes can be found at bargain prices. That listing price does not have a typo. This completely renovated three-bedroom home is on the market for under $300K, and features hardwood floors throughout, an expansive main level, a large kitchen, a formal dining room with a gas fireplace and three very spacious bedrooms. We give this home a week on the market tops. The open house is Sunday, November 15th from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.

   Love the Mount Rainier and Chevy Chase homes. A family is not going to do much better than Lafayette in the District when it comes to public elem schools.
