• April 6, 2012

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, we look at new two-bedrooms unit in Dupont Circle, Georgetown and the U Street Corridor.

Newly Renovated in Dupont Circle

Though this building was built in around 1900, this two-bedroom underwent a major renovation in 2012 and now looks quite modern, with bamboo flooring and bright spaces. The bathroom stands out with beautiful tile work and and marble counters, and the main living area has been opened up. The kitchen, which is also attached to a porch, now looks into the living and dining rooms. The listing is a little on the small side, but is well-located just to the northeast of Dupont Circle and close to U Street, Adams Morgan and the 14th Street Corridor.

• Full listing: 1731 S Street NW #4 (map)
• Price: $549,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Feet: 953
• Listing Agent: Linda Low, Long & Foster

Hidden Behind a Bookstore Front

The most notable thing about this house is the amazing facade: those walking by will never know that in addition to a storefront, there is an comfortable two-bedroom unit inside. Right now, the lower level is being used as a bookstore and the upper level as a residence. The new owners would be able to take over the live-work space, or rent out the lower level to a retail tenant. The residential portion is cozy, with a fireplace and some nice sitting areas, even if the kitchen looks a little dated.

• Bedrooms: Two

Modern Condo in the U Street Corridor

This 1,050 square-foot two-bedroom unit is located in Union Row, the PN Hoffman development just north of Busboys and Poets in the U Street Corridor. Built in 2008, the space is lofty, with giant industrial windows, exposed brick, and an open living area. The master bedroom is well sized and the entrance area, which is one floor below the rest of the unit, works well to keep shoes and coats out of sight. Union Row has some nice common features, like a rooftop patio (with a grill) and a security desk and surveillance system. This unit comes with a parking space.
