For Under Contract this week, UrbanTurf revisits a few recently-featured listings that went under contract in five to eight days of hitting the market.
Six Days for Small Rowhouse in Serene Setting
While this house is convenient to two of the city's primary streets traversing Northeast and Northwest, it also counts only the Rock Creek Cemetery and its abundant mature trees as a rear neighbor. The petite rowhouse has a small porch and a charmingly traditional interior that starts in the living room, just past a set of wood-framed French doors to the left of the entrance. The combined kitchen/dining room are broken up by a center island-breakfast bar with lateral cabinets and shelves. Upstairs, three bedrooms share a full bath; the basement also has a full bath and bonus storage room. The house also enjoys a deep, fenced-in backyard with patio area.

Five Days for Tiffey Townhome
Over in 16th Street Heights, this house offers a unique aesthetic even from the street, where it reads more like a multi-family building than a single-family home. Abstract iron gates at the entrance create a portico that leads to the front door on one side and a slate pool deck on the other. The interior has some stark art deco elements and a multi-layered motif that references the exterior, including a sunken living room and a mezzanine above the dining room. The master bedroom has a seating area with fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows. This mid-century modern Tiffey Townhome attracted a buyer within five days of being listed.

Six Bedrooms in Eight Days
This renovated Spring Valley colonial hit the market for the first time in over 35 years when it was listed a couple weeks; several days later, it was under contract. The house enjoys plenty of natural light throughout, most evident in the solarium-style family room where a symmetrical array of multi-sized picture windows form an arch on one wall and a series of oversized windows bring in sun on the next wall. The main level is also characterized by trim, wainscoting, and double-wide and arched entryways. On the uppermost level, the master bedroom and an adjacent bonus room/bedroom both have skylights and cove ceilings. The basement level has a bedroom and full bath in addition to the rec room, as well as a mudroom with built-in shelving.
