Best New Listings: Double Wide Cottage, Top Floor Condo and Pocket Doors
In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a double-wide cottage on Capitol Hill, a top-floor unit in Mount Pleasant, and a Bloomingdale Victorian with pocket doors.

Double Wide Capitol Hill Cottage
Perhaps the most interesting listing featured today is this short, wide brick cottage nestled between the tall, skinny row houses of Capitol Hill. Because of its unusual layout, the 842-square-foot listing is about twice as wide as its neighbors. The home was gutted and restored a couple years ago and while its bedrooms are small, there is a fairly deep rear patio with room for parking. Since this is a listing from the Poet Realtor, we’ll let him have the evocative final word: “Think French Bull Dog, hard not to smile.”
- Full listing: 1351 C Street NE (map)
- Price: $468,500
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: Two
- Square Footage: 842
- Listing Agent: Thomas Faison, RE/MAX Allegiance

Top-Floor Unit in Mount Pleasant With Low Fees
For buyers looking for a condo where maintenance fees won’t break the bank, units in converted row houses often require only a low monthly outlay. For example, this one-bedroom in a transformed Mount Pleasant property has monthly fees of just $132. As for the condo, the kitchen is particularly large for a one-bedroom, and the sunken family room is cozy. A back balcony has enough space for a small table and a grill.
- Full listing: 3409 Brown Street NW, #2 (map)
- Price: $274,900
- Bedrooms: One
- Bathrooms: One
- Year Built: 1903

Stately and Victorian in Bloomingdale
Steps from Boundary Stone and the new Grassroots Gourmet, this Bloomingdale Victorian is big, stately and comfortingly wood-filled. Many of the old features have been maintained, like a living room fireplace with columns and a mirror, and pocket doors separating the living room from the dining area and kitchen. The ceiling of the master bedroom has been opened up to reveal beams and a cathedral ceiling, and a ladder offers access to extra storage space. Also notable is the au pair suite downstairs, accessible via a spiral staircase.

- Price: $674,900
