If you were on this year’s Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour, then this week’s Deal of the Week probably looks familiar. And the garden, as well as the square footage that you get for the price, is what puts this three-bedroom home in the Capitol Hill historic district in deal territory.

Owned by the same person for 50 years, the home is being sold “as is” but don’t take that label to mean that it is rundown. While it could use some updating, the extra-wide row house has a good-sized living room with a fireplace, three upper level bedrooms and a cool rear solarium that looks out into a garden that might be deeper than the property itself. The 1,680 square-foot property, which is located not too far from Eastern Market, is listed at just $416 per square foot. More details and photos below. For the full listing, click here.

  • Address: 712 A Street SE (map)
  • Price: $699,950
  • Bedrooms: Three
  • Bathrooms: 1.5
  • Square Footage: 1,680

Here are some monthly payment calculations based on a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed rate mortgage at 4.45 percent.

  • Loan Amount: $559,960
  • Principal and Interest: $2,821
  • Property Taxes: $508/month
  • Total Monthly Payments: $3,329
