Three-Bedroom Fixer Upper in Columbia Heights

While the price may imply that it is a distressed sale, this three-bedroom row house on Newton Street in Columbia Heights is in fact a regular home that is just being sold “as-is.” It may appeal more to investors rather than regular home buyers, depending on how much work it needs, but it does have some aspects that other row homes in the neighborhood don’t, including two-car parking and a rear deck. The property is about a seven-minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro on the Green Line.

• Full Listing: 1341 Newton Street NW (map)
• Price: $495,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Square Footage: 1,432
