by Mark Wellborn

This week’s best new listings include a large two-bedroom condo in a small Columbia Heights building, a three-bedroom restored Victorian in Capitol Hill and a two-bedroom condo with windows on nearly every wall in the Penn Quarter.

Large Two-Bedroom Condo in Small Building in Columbia Heights

1101 Fairmont Street NW (see map here)

• Price: $449,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,100
• Price per SF: $408
• Condo Fees: $358/month

This 1,100 square-foot, two-bedroom condo was completed in 2003, and has a very open floorplan and is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances. There are 13-foot ceilings in some sections of the unit and three skylights that make it very bright during the day. There are also two balconies, additional storage in the basement and the eight-unit building allows pets. For the full listing, click here.

Three-Bedroom Restored Victorian in Capitol Hill

704 E Street NE (see map here)

• Price: $675,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1907

The listing for this Capitol Hill home notes that “yesterday meets today in this restoration of a classic bayfront Victorian.” In keeping with that description, the property has a new gourmet maple and granite kitchen, period archways, and three full modern baths. The lower level has been fully finished with a family room and in-law suite, and could conceivably serve as a rental unit. It is about a ten-minute walk from Union Station.

Two-Bedroom Penn Quarter Condo with Windows Everywhere

1001 L Street NW, #402 (see map here)

• Price: $599,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,300
• Price per SF: $461
• Condo Fees: $746/month

This two-bedroom condo at the Logan Quincy Park Condos in the Penn Quarter almost has too many windows. With three exposures, the amount of natural light that comes into the condo is significant. The living area is open, but there is a nice separation with the kitchen so that the living room does not have to smell like what you are making for dinner. There are hardwood floors throughout, walk-in closets, a washer and dryer and a garage parking space. The condo fee is steep but includes parking, gas, water and concierge service, among other things. For the full listing, click here.
