Best New Listings: A Bungalow, Conveying TVs and a Capitol Hill Koi Pond
In this week’s Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a bungalow in Takoma Park with a screened-in back porch; a central two-bedroom condo for the media-loving buyer; and a Capitol Hill rowhouse with a koi pond out back.

A Takoma Park Bungalow with a Generous Backyard
This three-bedroom may be a little rough around the edges inside, but it is a lot of house given the sub-$450,000 price tag. Perhaps the best part of the Takoma Park bungalow is the screened-in back porch that looks out on to a big backyard. We also like the look of the two-story front porch, and the eat-in kitchen.

A Mount Vernon Square Two-Bedroom Where the TVs Convey
Located just to the north of New York Avenue, this 1,130 square-foot, two-bedroom sits in The Chatham, a stately rowhouse converted to condos several years ago. In addition to 11-foot ceilings, a steam shower, a fireplace and a private deck, the unit comes pre-wired with a recessed speaker system. For the media loving buyer, three TVs convey with the listing.

A Capitol Hill Victorian That May Appeal To Everyone
There is occasionally one home that we feature in Best New Listings that will appeal to all buyers, whether it is in their price range or not. This three-bedroom Capitol Hill Victorian is it. The updated listing offers a number of cool spaces, including a kitchen with a small sitting area, a living room that tastefully opens up to a bright dining space, a deep brick patio, and even a koi pond out front. The home is in the southeastern part of the neighborhood, near Folger Parr, and has a master bedroom with views of the Capitol dome.
