Two Weeks on the Corner in Brookland

In the Little Rome area, this quaint corner farmhouse went under contract in just over two weeks. A lintel-and-post frames the entryway between the living and dining rooms, and the rooms are also distinguished by their rectangular and octagonal tray ceilings. The three bedrooms share a bath upstairs, each with a half-cove ceiling, and one of the bedrooms is also connected to a sunroom-like den. The tiled-floor lower level is well-suited for short-term rental use, including a full bath and a wet bar with breakfast bar peninsula. Along with the front porch, there is a covered deck out back above a paved patio area and a sloped lawn with fire pit.

A Month for Adaptive Reuse and a Laundry Duo

One month and two price reductions later, this semi-detached house in University Heights has gone under contract. Past the front porch and throughout the interior, the house's original materials were adaptively-reused for a smart renovation. Refinished hardwood flooring is prominent on the main level, and one-time pocket doors between the living room and eat-in kitchen are now transformed into barn doors. There is newer flooring behind the kitchen's breakfast bar island, extending into an adjacent laundry nook and a step-down in front of the backdoor. There is a second, kitchenette-like laundry area on the finished lower level, which also has a bedroom and a full, beveled subway-tiled bath with backlit mirror. The house also has a detached garage at the rear of the backyard, fronting the alley.

• Bathrooms: 3.5
