• May 17, 2013

by Shilpi Paul

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at a Kalorama condo with park views, a Capitol Hill rowhouse with a butcher block island, and a mid-century modern in Palisades with a 1960s style.

Kalorama One-Bedroom With Park Vistas

This one-bedroom is in Valley Vista, a Beaux Arts building located in Kalorama with many long-time residents. Perhaps the best thing about the 736-square foot unit is the sunroom next to the living room; the plentiful windows look directly into Rock Creek Park.

• Full listing: 2032 Belmont Road NW, #212 (map)
• Price: $369,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 736
• HOA Fees: $519/month

Capitol Hill Rowhouse With a Butcher Block Island

The 2008 renovation of this Wardman-style rowhouse opened up the floorplan, restored the pine floors and revamped the kitchen, which now has a very cute butcher block island. A finished lower level has a kitchen, a separate bedroom and offers a source of rental income. Other features include a porch and a grassy, landscaped backyard (complete with a croquet setup).

• Full listing: 751 12th Street SE (map)
• Price: $749,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1916
• Listing Agent: Joel Nelson, Keller Williams Capital Properties

Mid-Century Modern in Palisades

This Mad Men-era home is rectangular, breezy, and sits on a secluded street on DC’s western edge. The layout means that there are a lot of rectangular rooms where the narrowest wall ends in a generous set of windows. The living room opens to the kitchen, and the styling feels stylish from a 1960’s point of view, with glossy-looking, white cabinets. The fourth bedroom is optimized as an office, and has a wall of built-in shelves.

• Full listing: 4813 Bending Lane NW (map)
• Price: $1.2 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1956
• Listing Agent: Heidi Hatfield, Washington Fine Properties
