Four-Bedroom Cape Cod in Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier is a century-old community known for its arts district, its food co-op, and its active e-mail listserv. It also has an attractive and affordable housing stock that includes homes like this four-bedroom Cape Cod. The kitchen may be small and the home is being sold as-is, but the listing has good-sized bedrooms, a large basement, as well as a front porch, and a deep backyard. It is right next to the Glut food co-op and just one block from the neighborhood’s main drag.

• Full listing: 3400 Bunker Hill Road, Mount Rainier, MD (map)
• Price: $224,900
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Two

Dupont Circle Two-Bedroom For Under $500,000

This two-bedroom condo located on the northern edge of Dupont Circle just below U Street may be a bit small, but it is pretty hard to find any two-bedroom in the neighborhood priced for less than $500,000. The top-floor unit has hardwood floors, a living area with bay windows, an updated kitchen, and a wood-burning fireplace. The listing also has an in-unit washer/dryer, there is a shared roof deck for the building, and the condo fees ($250/month) are relatively low for the neighborhood.

• Full listing: 1939 17th Street NW, #12 (map)
• Price: $490,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1910
• Listing Agent: Robert Spicer, Spicer Real Estate

Former Capitol Hill Commercial Space Turned Three-Bedroom Home

Originally a commercial storefront with living quarters above it, this building a few blocks northeast of Eastern Market has been converted into a three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home. The coolest feature of the home may be the soaring skylight that shines natural light down into the dining area (see photo above). The master bedroom has a small alcove for a bed as well as a covered balcony, and there is a large patio and a shed for extra storage off the back of the house.

• Full listing: 310-312 11th Street SE (map)
• Price: $799,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Footage: 2,208
• Listing Agent: Lindsay Reishman, Lindsay Reishman Real Estate
