Four Days for a Capitol Hill Classic

The location of this early 20th-century rowhouse — diagonal from the new Capitol Hill Safeway — may have been one of the selling points that led to it going under contract in four days. Past its unassuming exterior, the updated interior is open concept in the living/dining room, with a set of built-in shelves above cabinets in the former area sitting across from a corner brick panel wood-burning fireplace with ledge hearth. The brick wraps around the corner to form an accent wall in the dining area a couple of steps above, and sliding glass doors here lead out to a platform deck. The owner's bedroom has a skylight and the narrowest of the bedrooms also has pew-like wooden shelves with scroll brackets mounted on a painted brick wall. The gravel backyard also has planting areas, two sheds, and a secured parking pad.

• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Square Feet: 1,152

Four Days on the Market in Falls Church
