A Patio-Famous Four-Bedroom Victorian in Shaw

This Victorian is famous. Or at least, the patio is as it was featured on the HGTV program Curb Appeal about five years ago. The four-bedroom was renovated in 2003 and has high ceilings, two-car parking, a gourmet-looking kitchen and a new HVAC system. The entire third floor is devoted to the master suite, which includes a sitting room, large bathroom and bay window that brings in a fair amount of light. Along with the patio, the listing also has an appealing facade, with a curvy brick design and a strong blue front. The house sits at the intersection of R and 4th Streets NW, a couple blocks from the Shaw Metro and close to the burgeoning action of Bloomingdale.

• Full listing: 415 R Street NW (map)
• Price: $688,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1900
• Listing Agent: Aelita Brolis Girard, Long & Foster

A Well-Priced Two-Bedroom Co-op in Adams Morgan

Mintwood Place, a quiet, tree-filled street, lies just north of Columbia Road straddling the border between Adams Morgan and Kalorama. For the block, this is a fairly well-priced two-bedroom, and part of the break on price is likely due to the fact that it is a co-op. A wall was knocked down opening the new kitchen to the light from the windows of the living area, but UrbanTurf’s favorite aspect is the unit’s layout, which has the master bedroom separated from the rest of the unit in a semicircular room surrounded by windows.

• Full listing: 1869 Mintwood Place NW, #23 (map)
• Price: $425,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 900
• Listing Agent: Shelley Gold, Long & Foster

Three-Bedroom Cape Cod in Arlington

This Arlington Cape Cod satisfies many suburban dreams, with a white picket fence, a large deck, a rec room in the basement, a swing set/slide and a tool shed out back. While the three-bedroom has a modernized kitchen and hardwood floors, the coolest room appears to be the master bedroom, which has an angled ceiling and lots of floor space on the top floor of the house.

• Full listing: 2701 Grant Street South, Arlington, VA (map)
• Price: $755,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1951
• Listing Agent: Louis Andors, Keller Williams
