Best Open Houses: Dupont Circle, Logan and Mount Vernon Square
In this week’s edition of Best Open Houses we feature the perfect two-bedroom in Dupont Circle, a Logan Circle two-bedroom with a very long and bright living room and a studio for under $185K not far from the Convention Center.
The Perfect Two-Bedroom in Dupont Circle
1735 New Hampshire Avenue NW, #201 (map)
We will be blunt: we want this unit. Aside from an amazing location just north of Dupont Circle and the luxury of never having to search endlessly for a parking space, we really like the layout, particularly the main area, which has numerous windows and good separation between the dining and living areas. The unit also has a wood-burning fireplace, a rarity in large buildings in DC. The open house is Sunday, February 21st from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
Logan Circle Two-Bedroom Unit With Long, Bright Living Room
1402 Swann Street NW, #4 (map)
This two-bedroom condo has a very long and sun-filled living room that, combined with high ceilings and dark hardwood floors, gives the unit a loft-like feel. Because it is in a boutique condo building, the unit shares a private patio with just one other unit. It is also situated not far from the bustling nightlife of Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor. The open house is Sunday, February 21st from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
Studio Near The Convention Center for Under $185K
1101 L Street NW, #506 (map)
If you prize downtown location over space and cannot afford that one-bedroom that you really want, this studio is listed at just $182,500 and you are within four blocks of Mount Vernon Square, in addition to five Metro lines. The unit has new appliances, hardwood floors, but, as its price indicates, it is pretty small. The open house is Sunday, February 21st from 2 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.

Mark, completely agree with you on the first property. Anyone that wants to buy me that place for my birthday, please respond to this comment…
The Dupont one is already coming up as under contract. Someone agreed with us. Oh, well.
That’s one smart buyer!
