Three-Bedroom Top-to-Bottom Renovation in Trinidad

Trinidad has become a popular place in DC for those looking to scoop up a relatively inexpensive row house in need of work, give it a complete makeover, and then put it back on the market. Such is the case with this three-bedroom on the eastern side of Gallaudet, which now features a main level with a living room, leading into a dining room and kitchen and then a small sun room at the rear of the house. The basement has been finished, and there is a back deck and a deep, fenced-in backyard, in addition to a parking space.

• Full listing: 1145 Oates Street NE (map)
• Price: $349,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Listing Agent: Paul Sliwka, Central Properties

Columbia Heights One-Bedroom For the Metro-Riding Buyer

This one-bedroom unit’s location — three blocks north of the Columbia Heights Metro — is an important factor for those considering buying this condo, as the listing price does not include parking in an area where finding parking on the street is becoming increasingly difficult. But for public-transit oriented buyers, the 620 square-foot listing has a number of things going for it, including a bright living room, bamboo floors, an in-unit washer/dryer, two walk-in closets and access to a communal roof deck.

• Full listing: 1417 Newton Street NW, #406 (map)
• Price: $299,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 620
• Listing Agent: Phyllis Alexander, Long & Foster

Four-Bedroom Victorian For Fans of Eastern Market

This four-bedroom Capitol Hill Victorian is meant for DC home buyers that spend their weekends strolling through Eastern Market. Three of the bedrooms are in the main section of the house, which still has many of the home’s original features from when it was built in the early 20th century; there is also a one-bedroom in-law suite on the lower level. The walk from the property’s front door to the flea market at Eastern Market takes less than 60 seconds, depending on your gait. Unfortunately, no parking space comes with the home.

• Full listing: 252 8th Street SE (map)
• Price: $899,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Square Footage: 1,868
• Listing Agent: John Smith, Prudential Carruthers
