Cute as a Button off Barracks Row

The two-bedroom row house just around the corner from Rose’s Luxury also has hardwood floors throughout, a fireplace and spacious renovated kitchen.

International Style in Michigan Park

Over in Michigan Park, this International-style modern mid-century house has only had two prior owners. The house was designed and built in 1960 by notable local architect Louis Giles, Jr.; the most-recent owners carefully updated the finishes of the house in keeping with the vintage and aesthetic of the home. The minimalist, multi-level interior takes advantage of 18-foot ceilings, while a wall of glass in the living room overlooks the rear terrace and garden with its cooling pool water feature. For a modern touch, the house also has an electric car charger built into the carport.

• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Feet: 3,500
