1300 Fairmont Street NW

Homes that are priced at over $1 million are rarely considered a deal within the DC borders. However, an exception should be made for this week’s Deal of the Week. This 5,000 square-foot, five-bedroom home on the corner of 13th and Fairmont Street has a rich history, and when listing agent/owner Brandon Green purchased the home in 2002, he stepped in to finish an extensive renovation of a property that had served as a former boarding house for 80 years.

The renovations that Green has made since the purchase are too numerous to name, but the home has three decks, a gated parking area for three cars, a lower level that now has a home office but could be a separate apartment, a completely renovated kitchen and a master suite on the top floor that has a gas fireplace and a custom-built multi-media system. At $320 a square foot, we deem this quite a deal for the right buyer. For the full listing, click here. For additional information about the home’s history and renovations, contact Brandon Green at 202-318-1623.
