In this week’s edition of Best Open Houses, we feature a two-bedroom loft in a former schoolhouse in Capitol Hill and a three-bedroom near Tenleytown with a great sun porch and back patio.

Two-Bedroom Loft in Former Schoolhouse in Capitol Hill

410 5th Street NE, #12 (map)


  • Price: $499,000
  • Bedrooms: Two
  • Bathrooms: Two
  • Square Footage: 1,023

This two-bedroom loft is located in the Bryan School Lofts, one of a number of schools in DC that has been transformed into high-end condos and lofts. The unit has a living and dining area separated by a two-sided fireplace as well as very high ceilings throughout. The home also has an in-unit washer/dryer and a parking space. The open house is Sunday, April 18th from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.

Three-Bedroom Home in Tenleytown With Beautiful Sun Porch

  • Price: $699,500
  • Bedrooms: Three
  • Bathrooms: 2.5
  • Year Built: 1939

We don’t often feature homes in this section of DC (that some would consider on the outskirts of Tenleytown), but this three-bedroom caught our eye because of its price and its sun porch and large back patio. The property also has a good-sized master bedroom and a large media room, but the kitchen may need some updating at some point down the road. Regardless, for a three-bedroom, this home is priced pretty well for the area. The open house is Sunday, April 18th from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
