Best New Listings: A Penthouse, A Restaurant and Extra Seating

• March 8, 2013

by Shilpi Paul

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a Glover Park rowhouse with a number of seating options, a penthouse in a Bloomingdale row house conversion, and a Kalorama co-op in a former restaurant.

Sitting Room Only in Glover Park

This three-bedroom Glover Park home has several extra sitting areas: a space in the back of the first floor is set up as a comfy TV-watching room — complete with built-in furniture —, the backyard has a private, slate patio, and the master bedroom comes with a sizable sitting room. The well-maintained home is on a quiet street, and there is also a basement in-law suite with a full kitchen.

• Full listing: 3735 W Street NW (map)
• Price: $795,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1934
• Listing Agent: Tyler Jeffrey, Beasley Real Estate

Penthouse of a Bloomingdale Victorian Conversion

In 2007, the Bloomingdale Victorian where this top-floor listing is located was converted into condos. The unit takes up the top two floors, as well as a rooftop deck. The home was renovated in a modern, higher-end manner, with built-in speakers, a contemporary staircase, a wine cooler, and an extra-long, spa-like bathtub. The address is half a block from the epicenter of Bloomingdale’s ever-growing retail scene.

• Full listing: 1827 1st Street NW #3 (map)
• Price: $599,999
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,300
• HOA Fees: $250/month
• Listing Agent: Suzanne Des Marais, Keller Willams Capital Properties

Classic Kalorama Co-op in a Former Restaurant

In the early 1900s, The Altomont was a luxury apartment building that housed 12-room units with servants quarters, and a restaurant on the top floor. Since then, the massive apartments have been chopped up into smaller co-ops, and the restaurant was turned into five separate units. This listing is one of the latter units, and the unusual layout betrays its former life. Angled ceilings, a skinny hallway leading to the kitchen, and a completely mirrored bathroom make this stand out from a typical home. UrbanTurf particularly liked the huge skylight over the living room.

• Full listing: 1901 Wyoming Ave NW #74 (map)
• Price: $515,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1917
• HOA Fees: $513/month (includes property taxes)
• Listing Agent: Catherine Czuba, McEnearney Associates
