Duplex Loft in Adams Morgan

This two-bedroom loft in Adams Morgan is less than a block from the neighborhood’s retail corridor of Columbia Road. It is a spacious duplex with lots of windows, high ceilings, exposed ductwork, and two fireplaces. It also includes a parking space, which is a precious commodity in the neighborhood, especially on weekend nights when nearby bars and restaurants fill up. Finally, at $221, the monthly condo fees are low. For the full listing, click here.

Traditional Wardman Row House in 16th Street Heights

As we noted in our recent profile of 16th Street Heights, one of the neighborhood’s perks is that the homes are charming and spacious. This 2,351-square-foot Wardman on Buchanan is a great example. It has four bedrooms and 2.5 baths, and includes details like art nouveau covers to its two fireplaces, parquet floors, and chestnut woodwork that frames many of the entries and doors throughout the home. Out back is a brick patio and private parking space. The price per square foot of the home is $233, about half of what it would be if it were located in Columbia Heights just a short walk to the south. For the full listing, click here.

Waterfront Studio One Block from Metro

It’s not often that we feature a studio, but this one in the Southwest Waterfront has a few things going for it. It is in one of the best locations in Southwest, just a three-minute walk from the new Safeway on 4th Street and the Waterfront-SEU Metro station on the Green line, while the waterfront is even closer than that. The unit is part of the Tiber Island community, which includes a swimming pool, fitness center, and 24-hour front desk. And finally, the price is an eye-catching $129,000. Living in a studio isn’t for most people, but at 550 square feet this unit isn’t tiny, and it could make a good purchase for a first-time buyer or nice pied-à-terre for an out-of-towner. At $621 the monthly fees are steep, but don’t forget that since this is a co-op the property taxes are included in that fee. For the full listing, click here.
