Bethesda Contemporary in a Cooperative Community

This four-bedroom home is in Bannockburn, a cooperative community that was developed in Bethesda in the 1940’s. The community has grown over the decades and now has a nursery school, elementary school, community center, pool and plenty of community spirit. This home is set on half an acre of woodsy land, so it feels pretty private despite the communal nature of the development. The interior is fairly plain but has plenty of windows that enhance the livability.

• Full Listing: 6817 Laverock Court, Bethesda MD (map)
• Price: $799,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1951
• Listing Agent: Matthew Maury, Stuart & Maury, Inc.

Recently Renovated Capitol Hill Rowhouse

This home has many of the hallmarks of a recent renovation: an open floor plan, white painted brick, a skylight, and a new deck. The deck has a narrow sliver wrapping around the side of the home, and the french doors opening up from the kitchen are a nice touch. With less than 1,500-square feet, the home is narrow and one of the bedrooms is quite small; it is currently set up as an office. The three-bedroom home is on 11th Street SE, about equidistant from the Eastern Market and Potomac Ave Metro stations.

• Full Listing: 538 11th Street SE (map)
• Price: $799,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Footage: 1,496
• Listing Agent: Kenneth Rub, Stages Premier
