A Circular Shaw Townhouse

Located in Shaw, this four-bedroom townhome features a modern living space with a circular living room, which offers built-in bookshelves, a fireplace, a centerpiece fixture and wall cutouts to allow natural light from the front door area. A kitchen in the back of the home connects to a door leading out to the two-car flagstone driveway or makeshift patio, which is enclosed with an open-air garage door. A bedroom on the second floor, which features another fireplace, could easily be used as an extra living room, and the home also has a roof deck. The realtor is also the owner of the home. "The living room had columns and heavy draperies everywhere," he said. "Once we took all of that off, we could see the circular architectural detail and actually loved it."

A Cape Cod in Silver Spring

This Silver Spring home looks like it could be located near the ocean - with its brick facade, interior white wood paneling and high wooden ceiling beams. The kitchen, which connects to the living and dining rooms, features stainless steel appliances, white cabinetry and marble countertops. UrbanTurf's favorite feature is the sloped ceilings in the upstairs bedrooms - caused by the pitch of the roof. An additional bedroom and living room can be found in the finished basement. New owners can access a fenced backyard through the kitchen - which has a stone patio and a large grassy area. The home also features an attached garage for extra storage.
