This Week’s Find: Intent on Glover Park

This two-bedroom listing in Glover Park was featured in our This Week’s Find column at the beginning of September. The sellers are transplants from South Carolina who were “intent on living in the neighborhood” when they came to DC and are now moving to simplify the husband’s daily commute. The one-story condo has windows on three sides, a front and back door, a mud room leading from the back patio, and a separately deeded parking spot, so it lives a lot like a house. The couple re-did the kitchen and bathroom when they bought it three years ago, and got innovative with their walk-in closet by turning it into an office/den. The asking price recently dropped by $10,000.

• Full listing: 2325 37th Street NW, #2 (map)
• Original Price: $459,000
• New Price: $449,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One

1852 Federal Row House Within a Stone’s Throw of the Capitol

It is hard to imagine being much closer to the Capitol building than this 3,652 square-foot row house (these days, that may not be a big selling point, though). From the outside, it is a little hard to tell just how large this home is, but it has a double-sized living room with two fireplaces, a deep garden, and a very cool area on the second floor that serves as an office space with a number of windows. The listing, where the asking price recently dropped $145,000, may have a special place in the heart of DC journos: the seller is veteran political journalist Thomas Edsall.

• Full listing: 19 2nd Street NE (map)
• Original Price: $1.495 million
• New Price: $1.35 million
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1852
