by Mark Wellborn

This weekend’s best open houses include a two-bedroom condo in Shaw with a $45K price reduction, the lowest-priced two-bedroom, two-bath condo in Dupont Circle and a four-bedroom colonial in Silver Spring.

Two-Bedroom Condo in Shaw With $45K Price Reduction

1543 6th Street NW, #101 (see map here)

• Price: $399,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Condo Fees: $150/month
• Year Built: 1912

We have it on good authority that this two-bedroom, two-bath condo in Shaw is going to have a crowded open house this weekend. The 1,000 square-foot unit was completely remodeled in 2005, but still has the original pine floors throughout and exposed brick, but also new recessed lighting and a built-in bar and pantry in the kitchen. A dining area provides ample space for meals, and the master bedroom opens up to a balcony while the second bedroom has enough space for a queen-size bed, desk and a bookcase. Originally priced at $445,000, this unit is not going to be on the market very long at its current price. The open house is Sunday 8/2 from 2 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.

Lowest Priced Two-Bedroom, Two-Bath Condo in Dupont Circle

1740 18th Street NW, Unit T-5 (see map here)

• Price: $449,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 846
• Price per SF: $531
• Condo Fees: $317

Currently the lowest priced two-bedroom, two-bath condo in Dupont Circle (as determined by MLS), this unit is located in The Hampton, a recently-renovated boutique condo building on 18th Street. The open kitchen/living room/dining area provides good space for entertaining, and the king-sized master suite has a full bath and walk-in closet. The property is just a five-minute walk from the Dupont Circle Metro stop on the Red Line. The listing price was recently reduced by $10K, and the open house is Sunday from 2-4pm.

Four-Bedroom Colonial in Silver Spring

8011 Piney Branch Road, Silver Spring, MD (see map here)

• Price: $479,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Square Footage: 6,205

This four-bedroom colonial in the Silver Spring/Takoma Park area is a good option for anyone that is tired of living in DC, but still wants easy access to the city. Just a few blocks from the Takoma Park Metro on the Red Line, the home has a great kitchen and living room space and three good-sized bedrooms (the fourth is rather small). The property also has a great back deck. The open house is Sunday (8/2) from 1 to 4pm. For the full listing, click here.
