In this edition of Above Asking, UrbanTurf takes a look at two homes previously featured in Best New Listings, both of which sold within two weeks of being listed, for at least $100,000 above the asking price.

Spacious, Modern Home on the Edge of Rock Creek Park

Located in the Forest Hills neighborhood, this glass-encased modern home features clean lines, natural light and light-colored hardwoods throughout. The house sits on a quarter-acre lot, with several balcony and patio spaces looking out on Rock Creek Park. The main level is all shared space, with a powder room and accordion-style sliding glass doors which open the living/dining room/kitchen area onto a deck. The home sold within two weeks of hitting the market in December for $100,000 above its listing price.

A 2,000 Square-Foot Triplex in Logan Circle

This upper-level three-bedroom Victorian rowhouse condo in Logan Circle also wasted very little time on the market. The wide-open ground floor allows sight-lines from one end of the house to the other, and all the bedrooms are located upstairs, including a master suite with a walk-in closet and spa bathtub. An upstairs den with a wet bar leads out to one of two private roof decks for the ultimate indoor-outdoor entertainment space. Like the listing above, it sold for about $100,000 over asking within a week of being listed.

   I loathe that duplex/triplex are used interchangeably to describe either number of units or number of floors. Especially common over the river, but starting to see it in the city as well.
