This installment of Under Contract revisits three recently-featured listings with interesting architectural details that each went under contract within six to 12 days.
12 Days for a Co-Op with Confessional Closet
This Kalorama co-op spent twice as long on the market as the other listings featured today, but arguably has twice the eye-catching architectural details, down to the scrollwork framing the doorjamb. In the spacious hall, a wooden walk-in confessional closet is built-in floor-to-ceiling and sports ornate molding and three archtop doors with leaded windows. A double-sided breakfast bar peninsula turns into the kitchen, which has a cherry-red subway tile backsplash and an exposed brick column in the far corner. Both of the bedrooms are comparably-sized and have stained-glass clerestory windows; the rear bedroom also has a bay window and a closet wall. The bathroom has a stained-glass transom above the door, a set of framed recessed shelving, and a clawfoot bathtub.

Up a handful of steps, the landing creates a gallery open to the main level, and this space houses the owner's suite and a pair of bedrooms with a jack-and-jill bathroom. The lower level has an office/bonus room with exterior access and an additional bedroom suite, as well as a rec room with concrete floors. On the other side of the lower level, a family room has a painted brick wall with a recessed fireplace beside sliding glass doors out to the flagstone patio and surrounding yard.
