Two-Bedroom Hilltop Cottage in Kent

5009 Weaver Terrace NW (see map here)

• Price: $699,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1926

It is not often that you find a home like this within the DC borders. This two-bedroom cottage sits on top of a hill looking out on the Virginia skyline in DC’s Kent neighborhood. There is a large screened porch that would be a perfect place to entertain during the summer. The home is being sold “as is” and the interior does need some work. That said, it has the feeling of a rustic beach home inside that will likely appeal to a certain buyer that doesn’t mind doing a little work. The open house is Sunday, November 8th from 1 to 4pm.
