A $71,000 Premium for a Prime Location

The house also has a gated rear two-car parking pad.

A Petite Rowhouse Near Petworth
While this house is in a much quieter part of town, it managed to command a steeper premium than the H Street-adjacent listing above. Tucked between two main corridors on the Northeast-Northwest border, the petite rowhouse has no rear neighbors aside from a line of mature trees courtesy of the adjacent Rock Creek Cemetery. The traditional interior has a combined kitchen and dining area, separated by a center island with cabinets on the sides. Upstairs, the three bedrooms share a bathroom; the second full bath is in the basement, along with a bonus storage room. The house also has a small front porch just a step up from the path and a rear patio area.

$136,000 Above Asking for Shaw Rowhouse-Loft
This Shaw rowhouse with a loft-like interior commanded a whopping six-figure premium above its original listing price. Located on a short one-way street, the exterior of the home blends in with its neighbors, while the interior is designed to stand out. Exposed brick, wood and beams are prevalent throughout, peppered with exposed pipes and ductwork that create an industrial vibe. A floating skylit staircase splits the main level in half, separating the living area from the galley kitchen and dining area. The upstairs landing is an open area with the bedroom on one side and a family room on the other, both beneath a vaulted ceiling. The full bath has a laundry closet inside.
