Best New Listings: Art Deco, Capitol Views and a Deceiving Bungalow

• February 8, 2013

by Shilpi Paul

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at an affordable Art Deco co-op in Lanier Heights, a condo conversion with views of the Capitol building, and a deceiving bungalow in Arlington.

Art Deco Affordability Near the Zoo

For someone in the market for a one-bedroom, this co-op tucked away in the quiet neighborhood of Lanier Heights checks a lot of boxes. The living room and bedroom are bordered by a line of windows, the unit is well-maintained with a renovated kitchen and bathroom, and the building has a rooftop deck with views of the Cathedral. The Art Deco style of the building doesn’t come out in too many ways; perhaps the parquet flooring is the most distinguishing mark.

• Price: $299,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 700
• Co-op Fees: $373/month

A View of the Capitol In a Condo Conversion

This unit is in The Torraine, a three-story town house that was converted into nine condos in 2009. The two-bedroom is on the first floor and has a long footprint, two balconies, and access to a yard. The living room’s bay window adds to the rowhouse-feel. Located five blocks east of the Capitol building, the condo has a direct view of the DC landmark.

• Full listing: 424 E Capitol Street NE, #5 (map)
• Price: $629,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,175
• Condo Fees: $139/month

Long and Large Bungalow in Arlington

To call this listing a bungalow is a little deceiving as it is much larger than the bungalows of Del Ray or Takoma Park. The three-bedroom house is not only filled with wood trim, but there are a slew of “extra rooms — an office, a sunroom, a screened porch and a family room. The large front porch, fenced-in yard and garage round out the listing’s suburban calling cards.

• Price: $989,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1922
