A number of very good listings have hit the market in Capitol Hill in recent weeks, and this renovated three-bedroom row house continues that trend. The main level is long and narrow with a renovated kitchen (granite counters, stainless steel appliances, maple cabinets) and a good-sized living area. The master bedroom (pictured above) is a huge, light-filled room that has plenty of space for a small reading area. The basement is a self-contained in-law suite if you are looking for a property that can provide you with some rental income. For the full listing, click here.

  • Price: $375,000
  • Bedrooms: One
  • Bathrooms: One
  • Condo Fees: $358/month
  • Year Built: 1988

This Cleveland Park one-bedroom condo is listed at a fairly good price for this section of DC. Along with the open living area and small balcony, this home has a floor-to-ceiling glass solarium with marble tile and views of the National Cathedral. There is an in-unit washer/dryer and a covered parking space, and as an added bonus, the property is across the street from a number of popular DC restaurants (Cafe Deluxe, Cactus Cantina and 2 Amy’s) For the full listing, click here.

7342 Carroll Avenue, Takoma Park, MD (see map here)

  • Price: $490,000
  • Bedrooms: Three
  • Bathrooms: Two
  • Year Built: 1923

This home may be priced so well that there is a good chance that it is under contract by the end of the day. Totally remodeled, this three-bedroom bungalow in Takoma Park has a great front porch, a sunny living room with a fireplace, and a bright sun porch that could be used as a home office. The lower level has a large rec room with glass doors that lead to a covered porch and deck. For the full listing, click here.
