This week’s best new listings in the DC area include a two-bedroom condo with a fireplace and roof terrace in Dupont Circle and a three-bedroom bargain of a row house near Meridian Hill Park.

1730 New Hampshire Avenue NW, #17 (see map here)

  • Price: $535,000
  • Bedrooms: Two
  • Bathrooms: Two
  • Year Built: 1908

This spacious two-bedroom, two-bath unit is located just to the northwest of Dupont Circle. The condo is a “bi-level penthouse” according to the listing description, and has hardwood floors and tall ceilings and the living room has a fireplace. Both bedrooms are good-sized and in addition to a fully updated kitchen and washer/dryer, the top-floor unit comes with a rooftop terrace. For the full listing, click here.


Three-Bedroom Row House Bargain Near Meridian Hill Park

image

1424 Florida Avenue NW (see map here)

  • Price: $529,900
  • Bedrooms: Three
  • Bathrooms: Two
  • Year Built: 1890

The listing stresses that this three-bedroom row house near Meridian Hill Park is being sold “as is”, however by looking at the photos the only things that look like they need work are the kitchen and the bathroom. The living spaces have maintained a lot of the late 19th-century details from when the building was built, and the windows throughout the home provide a good deal of natural light. At this price, the home could easily qualify for our Deal of the Week feature. For the full listing, click here.
