The Best New Listings in the DC Area
This week’s best new listings in the DC area include a two-bedroom townhouse just north of Stanton Park in Capitol Hill, a huge four-bedroom colonial in Arlington, and a six-bedroom home with passive solar design in Takoma Park.
Sunny Two-Bedroom Townhouse North of Stanton Park in Capitol Hill

316 5th Street NE (see map here)
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.
Huge Four-Bedroom Colonial in Arlington

1687 Longfellow Street, Arlington, VA (see map here)
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.
Six-Bedroom Home in Takoma Park With Passive Solar Design

8103 Sligo Creek Parkway, Takoma Park, MD (see map here)
This six-bedroom contemporary is located in one of the more secluded sections of Takoma Park, overlooking Sligo Creek Park. 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.
