If you are not deterred by the snowy forecast or the final football game of the season, these open houses in Adams Morgan and Petworth are worth checking out this weekend.
A Two-Bedroom Deal on 16th Street

2440 16th Street NW, #522 (map)
A nice two-bedroom on the 16th Street border of Adams Morgan for under $400,000 does not come along every day. This top floor unit is located just north of Meridian Hill Park, and its height provides views all the way to the Virginia skyline. The living room is spacious and with a number of windows, fairly bright as well. The kitchen has been renovated and there is an in-unit washer/dryer and central A/C. The open house is Sunday, February 7th from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
Old World Charm in Petworth

5116 5th Street NW (map)
This three-bedroom row house in Petworth has some great features that have been very well maintained since the home was built 80 years ago. From the hardwood floors to the large kitchen pantry to the enclosed sleeping porches off some of the rooms, the home is filled with some great nooks and has an attractive price tag for a three-bedroom home in the District. The open house is Sunday, February 7th from 2 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
