Carefully Owned For 30 Years in Bloomingdale

The owner of this Bloomingdale rowhouse has lived in the home for more than 30 years, and has restored it while maintaining much of the character from when it was built over a century ago. Many aspects of the listing recall an earlier era, including the pocket doors, decorative molding and four antique fireplaces. UrbanTurf's favorite room is the primary bedroom on the third level which has a gabled beamed ceiling, an open loft area, and a bathroom with an elevated soaking tub and a marble vanity.

A Mountain Retreat in Kent

This five-bedroom home in DC's Kent neighborhood was reimagined in the style of a house you might find in the mountains of North Carolina or Appalachia. That aesthetic can be seen in the exterior that features natural western red cedar lap siding with mitered outside corners with copper accents. The heart of the home is an open kitchen and family room that include finishes such as a white oak island, honed Taj Mahal quartzite countertops and floating quartzite shelving. The house also has a screened porch, a large finished lower level, and a deep backyard.

• Price: $3,495,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 4.5

Two Penthouses Become One in Lanier Heights

This nearly 2,000 square-foot co-op is actually the combination of two residences at The Ontario in Lanier Heights.

There are also three separate walk-in closets and an extra-long galley kitchen with a pantry and a Bertazzoni gas stove. And, for buyers that are chandelier lovers, the chandeliers in the living room and dining room convey with the purchase.

• Price: $1,495,000
• Bedrooms: Two
