Best New Listings: A Carriage House, A Modest Condo and A Dupont Victorian

• November 16, 2012

by Shilpi Paul

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a Victorian with a carriage house in Truxton Circle, a modest but well-located condo in Mount Vernon Square, and a stately Dupont Circle Victorian.

Three-Stories Plus a Carriage House in Truxton Circle

This three-story, four-bedroom with a potentially rentable lower level unit appears to be one of the larger rowhouses available in Truxton Circle. The coolest feature is the carriage house in the back, which could be potentially be used as a studio, office or guest house. The recent renovated main house also has a finished lower level with a separate entrance, bedroom, and full bath.

Modest but Well-Located in Mount Vernon Square

Occupying one story of a row house, this 700-square foot unit is close to the Convention Center and the upcoming City Market at O in Mount Vernon Square. The condo was modestly renovated in 2007 and the plain interior doesn’t match the charm of the exterior, but the layout, bay window and convenient location are likely to attract buyers. There is also a den that could be used as a second bedroom or an office.

A Dupont Circle Victorian That Has Maintained Its Charm

The largest of the three homes featured today, this grand Victorian is renovated but maintains much of its original charm. Details like a checkerboard floor in the kitchen, a clawfoot bathtub, and the original fireplaces make it feel like a house from 1920s (which it is). As you might expect at this price point, there are plenty of luxurious features, like walk-in closet as big as a room (it even has seating), a sitting area off the master bedroom, and a dedicated library.
