If you are looking for a two-bedroom townhouse in DC, Capitol Hill is probably your best bet for this rather rare property type. However, only a handful of these homes have the combination of location and floorplan that make this particular property stand out. This townhouse is just above Stanton Park, has two very large bedrooms on the second floor, a spacious living and dining area, a new kitchen and a private garden and patio in the back of the house. The house is a great starter home for someone that wants an alternative to a condo. For the full listing, click here.

  • Square Footage: 2,432
  • Price per SF: $349
  • Year Built: 1950

This four-level, four-bedroom home has almost everything a home owner could want. At 2,400 square feet, it is extremely spacious. In addition to an enormous master suite (measuring 20 feet by 11 feet), there is a renovated kitchen, a finished attic that could be an additional bedroom or a home office and a small attached property that could serve as a second, more casual living room. The home also has a detached garage and a large backyard. For the full listing, click here.

The property has an enormous wall of windows that are just one aspect of the passive solar design that was incorporated when the home was built. The kitchen was recently remodeled and now has Silestone counters and birch cabinets. A number of different types of woods were used including red oak for the floors and ash and mahogany for the staircase that comes into the living area. For the full listing, click here.
