In this week’s Above Asking, UrbanTurf looks at recent sales in Glover Park and Chevy Chase that went over their asking price.

$61,000 Above for a Renovated Three-Bedroom in Glover Park

The main level of the W Street listing has a living room with built-ins that leads into a dining/kitchen area and a small family room in back. Upstairs, the bedroom set up is a master and a series of three connected rooms that now look to serve as a bedroom, a walk-in closet and a bright den.

$106,000 More for Curb Appeal in Chevy Chase

Like many of its neighbors in Chevy Chase DC, this four-bedroom on Nevada Avenue has great curb appeal, which may have helped its price vault more than $100,000 over asking.

The second level has a spacious master bedroom as well as two other good-sized bedrooms. The home’s basement is finished and there’s a garage out back.
