A Tenleytown Two-Bedroom Gone in Under a Week

This two-bedroom house a block from Wisconsin Avenue had a lower asking price than most houses in the neighborhood and buyers took notice. The living room of the listing has a standalone panel in the center separating it from the dining area, which also hosts the stair with a half-bath beneath. A pass-through window looks into the skylit kitchen with white countertops and subway tile backsplash contrasting with dark granite countes. The side door entryway serves as a mudroom with built-in storage, while closets follow the hallway beyond. The tiled basement also offers extra room for storage and laundry. Listed on a Thursday, the home was under contract by the following Wednesday.
