Best New Listings: Eastern Market, Three Porches, and Exposed Beams

• November 30, 2012

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at a early 20th century condo near Eastern Market, a Brookland row house with three porches, and an H Street Corridor home that was revamped in 2010.

Mr. Smith Goes to Eastern Market

For those who love the Eastern Market neighborhood, this condo, which is right around the corner, will satisfy. Others may be drawn to its early 20th century vibe, which is illustrated by Victorian-esque bay windows, wide doorways and radiant heat. The layout has a few quirks, like a five-sided bedroom that seems to necessitate diagonal bed placement. The new owners also may want to update some elements of the kitchen and bathroom, and as far as we can tell, the Mr. Smith Goes to Washington poster does not convey.

• Listing Agent: Dino Milanese, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Three Porches in Brookland

With only 864 square feet, this Brookland row house is a sort of mini house (though it’s nowhere near has small as one of these). However, the two-bedroom is nicely renovated and has a comfortably-sized master bedroom and separate dining room. The outdoor space is also a plus. In addition to a deep backyard, the home has three porches: a front porch, a back porch, and a second-story sleeping porch.

H Street Corridor Home With Exposed Beams

In 2010, this H Street Corridor row house was revamped, and the changes included replacing a centrally located staircase with a modern, floating version, opening up the kitchen to the dining room, building a patio with a grill area and finishing the basement. Ceiling beams were exposed in the bedrooms and brick was exposed on many walls. The home has an urban feel that matches the atmosphere on the nearby corridor.
