In this installment of Above Asking, UrbanTurf revisits two recently-featured listings that sold at a premium.
$25,000 Above For a Chevy Chase Farmhouse
Fun accents throughout this Chevy Chase farmhouse include brassy hardware and creative wallpaper, and those attributes may have played a role in it fetching a $25,000 premium above its asking price. UrbanTurf was quite fond of the kitchen, which was renovated in 2015 and has a large center island, quartz countertops and various-sized cabinetry. The basement makes a great option for entertaining guests thanks to a bar with a built-in sink and wine fridge. For those who enjoy spending time outside, there is also a full yard in the front along with a covered porch, and patio area out back.

This two-story Silver Spring home, with an aesthetic inspired by Japanese culture, sold for $130,000 above its asking price.
