• November 10, 2017

This week’s Best New Listings include two townhouses in two different Northeast DC neighborhoods.

Bigger Than it Appears in Brookland

This semi-detached home in Brookland has an unassuming exterior that betrays no hint of the 2,100 square-foot interior. The home is updated yet traditional in style, with restored original heart pine floors contrasting with dark trim and window and door frames. The open main level looks straight from the entry back to the newly-renovated kitchen at the rear of the level, where a family room walks out onto the rear deck overlooking a deep backyard. There is a separate entrance to the basement, which contains a full bedroom and bath.

• Full Listing: 1829 Monroe Street NE (map)
• Price: $739,900
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: Four
• Square Feet: 2,100
• Year Built: 1923
• Listing Agent: David Bediz, Keller Williams Capital Properties

Cuckoo for Carved Wood in Capitol Hill

Across the quadrant in Capitol Hill, this Victorian rowhouse also takes advantage of original interior woodwork to great effect, from the decorative carved stair posts to the double-wide trim in the doorways. Pocket doors lead to the living room, where the bay has three archtop windows. Through the next doorway, the formal dining room has a fireplace with ornate wood frame and mantel sitting in an accent exposed brick wall. While the eat-in chef’s kitchen is impressive, the master bedroom has a bay that doesn’t extend from floor-to-ceiling, creating a potential built-in seating nook.

• Price: $1,599,999
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Square Feet: 2,471
• Year Built: 1900
• Listing Agent: Meg Shapiro, Compass
