The Best New Listings in the DC Area: The (Mostly) Adams Morgan Edition

• June 8, 2009

by Mark Wellborn

This week’s best new listings include a three-bedroom co-op in Adams Morgan (with a number of amenities to make living in the neighborhood comfortable), a one-bedroom co-op for under $300K also in Adams Morgan, and a remodeled five-bedroom Tudor in Silver Spring.

Three-Bedroom Co-op With All the Amenities To Make Living in Adams Morgan Comfortable

2370 Champlain Street NW, Unit 33 (see map here)

• Price: $675,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,700
• Price per SF: $398

This 1,700 square-foot two-level co-op in Adams Morgan has a number of things that properties in this trendy DC neighborhood lack. There is a shared roof deck with views of the Capitol and National Cathedral. Street parking is notoriously difficult in this area, and a garage parking space is included in the unit’s listing price. The co-op has hardwood floors throughout, built-in bookshelves, a gourmet eat-in kitchen with a 20-foot skylight, and a completely remodeled master bath (new sink, lighting and granite countertop). Lastly, at $675K, the price per square foot ($395) is about 20 percent lower than the going rate in the area (approximately $500). For the full listing, click here.

• Year Built: 1916

This one-bedroom co-op is priced perfectly for a first-time home buyer who wants to be in the thick of DC nightlife.The listing is located between Adams Morgan and Kalorama, so if you like going out, this unit may fit the bill. The living and dining area is moderately sized, and there is a small outdoor patio space that is large enough for a table with a few chairs and a grill. For the full listing, click here.

407 Hamilton Avenue, Silver Spring, MD (see map here)

• Price: $775,000

This five-bedroom Tudor home is an advertisement to live in Silver Spring.

The bedrooms are all quite large which is odd for a five-bedroom home. There is a rec room in the basement and a big landscaped backyard. For the full listing, click here.

   The three-bedroom in Adams Morgan and the Silver Spring Tudor look like awesome properties. Not sure I could live in the one-bedroom co-op, though.

   That 3BR in the Morgan is HUGE and a great deal for that neighborhood.  If only I could afford it!
