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.
- Full Listing: 5110 Cathedral Avenue NW (map)
- Price: $3,495,000
- Bedrooms: Five
- Bathrooms: 4.5
- Square Feet: 3,900
- Year Built: 1973
- Listing Agent: Lisa Resch, Compass

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. That combination affords the listing spaces like a living room shaped by a cupola, and a nearly 600 square-foot primary bedroom suite. 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
- Bathrooms: Two
- Square Feet: 1,841
