The open concept main level has a door to the side yard between the living and dining areas and a white-painted brick accent wall.

The upstairs landing has a skylight framed with slatted wood, and the two bedrooms share a skylight full bath. The house also has a parking pad with a Tesla charging port.

Affordability and Archtops on East Capitol Street

This semi-detached three-bedroom spent just six days on the market before going under contract. Its location on an incline overlooking East Capitol Street, one of the city's quadrant-defining thoroughfares, likely contributed to its attractive price, and the house has plenty of equally attractive features and conveniences. Located four blocks from Benning Road Metro station, the house has two entrances, including a side archtop door that opens into a generous foyer with the original mirrored door to the basement stairs. The front bedroom upstairs has symmetrical pairs of closets and archtop alcoves, and the second bedroom has a wall of built-ins. The house also has a large front porch, a partially-finished basement, and a huge multi-level yard with rear parking pad.

• Price: $365,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Feet: 1,308
