Under Contract: 2 Days or 1 Month
In this week's Under Contract, we feature a home in Takoma Park that found a buyer in 48 hours, as well as a Georgetown home that spent about a month on the market.
48 Hours For a Takoma Park Cottage
This three-bedroom in Takoma Park hit the market on a Thursday and had found a buyer by Saturday. It sits near the neighborhood's commercial strip and has a garden-like front yard that conceals a patio beside the front door. The main living area features lofted ceilings, wooden beams, tilted skylights and a large brick fireplace. An exposed spiral staircase leads up to a primary suite with a walk-in closet and en-suite bathroom. The kitchen has blue countertops, terra cotta style floors and a ceiling fan. Off the main floor, a screened porch is perfect for lounging on summer evenings. The unfinished basement offers expansion opportunities and contains the laundry area.

A Month For Six Bedrooms in Georgetown
Recently renovated, this Georgetown home features lavish detailing and state-of-the-art amenities, as well as a large courtyard shaded by several mature trees. The home was on the market for about a month before going under contract, which is a fairly short time for a home with this price tag. The main floor includes an open-concept kitchen with a second sink and wine fridge and an attached living room that opens to the back deck through double French doors. The primary bedroom on the second level includes its own sitting room and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity sink and soaking tub. A kitchenette can be found downstairs, along with two other bedrooms and a living room. The backyard is permitted for a pool.
