Downtown 8th Floor Two-Bedroom With a View

1001 L Street NW, #802 (map)

• Price: $629,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,300

This two-bedroom unit just to the south of Blagden Alley is a pretty convenient option for someone who needs to live downtown because of a hectic work schedule. The 8th floor unit has 1,300 square feet of interior space and a huge corner of floor-to-ceiling windows that leads out to a balcony. There is an in-unit washer/dryer, building concierge, as well as not one, but two garage parking spaces (a must amenity in this neighborhood if you have a car). All this convenience and luxury comes with fairly high condo fees ($740/month), though. For the full listing, click here.

Renovated and Expanded Sears Bungalow in Falls Church

2103 Quantico Street, North Arlington, VA (map)

• Price: $845,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1925

The ready-to-assemble Sears home made its debut in the early 20th century and was very popular for young buyers that had about $1,000 to spend. This five-bedroom started off as a Sears home, but has been expanded significantly and almost completely renovated from its original form. There is now a spacious family room and kitchen area as well as a large master bedroom suite. The listing description notes that the sellers are motivated, but probably not motivated enough to take the original price that the Sears model sold for. For the full listing, click here.
