Best New Listings: Two District Rowhouses and a Takoma Park Special

• January 24, 2014

by Lark Turner

In this week’s edition of Best New Listings, UrbanTurf looks at newly listed rowhouses in Burleith and Capitol Hill, and a Takoma Park bungalow.

A Federal Rowhouse in Burleith

Burleith is a small neighborhood of 500 or so houses just north of Georgetown that is often mistaken for its more tony neighborhood to the south. This Federal-style rowhouse across the street from the Corcoran College of Art and Design is one of those 500 houses. It has a big, gleaming kitchen as well as a pool out back. The open family spaces mean less elbow room in the bedrooms, however. For the 20007 zip code, this is also one of those rare three-bedrooms under $1 million.

• Full Listing: 1725 34th Street NW (map)
• Price: $974,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1922
• Listing Agent: Rachel Valentino, Keller Williams Capital Properties

An Eastern Market Victorian With Income Potential

This uniquely-styled rowhouse sits near Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. The home has big expanses of exposed brick along the stairwell, as well as a long brick rear patio and parking. As far as layout, it is in essence a two-bedroom home with a rental. The main section has one larger bedroom and a smaller option upstairs. Downstairs is a one-bedroom suite that helps with the mortgage payments.

• Full Listing: 607 A Street SE (map)
• Price: $849,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1908
• Listing Agent: Michael Tubbs, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

A Two-Bedroom Takoma Park Special

Takoma Park is Silver Spring’s “more than a little bit quirky“ neighbor. That description is also fitting for this new two-bedroom listing that is a little rough around the edges. Still, while there are portions that could use a little love, the 1923-built house has plenty of historic charm, a big backyard, and, at just $400,000, it will likely have a number of visitors this weekend.

• Full Listing: 6606 Westmoreland Avenue, Takoma Park, MD (map)
• Price: $400,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1923
• Listing Agent: Lise Courtney Howe, Keller Williams Capital Properties
