In Under Contract, UrbanTurf looks back at properties it has featured recently that were snatched up by DC’s alert buyers.

A Week on the Market in Chevy Chase

This 4,100 square-foot home sits just off Military Road in Chevy Chase DC, and the curb appeal alone probably had a lot to do with its quick sale. Inside there’s a bright, modern ground floor that’s laid out for formal entertaining with an eat-in kitchen. The bedrooms are on the upper levels, with two attached via a bright study/den. Outside is an elevated back deck as well as a patio, and there is a one-bedroom in-law suite on the first level.

• Address: 3809 Jocelyn Street NW (map)
• Days on Market: 7
• Price: $1,475,000
• Bedrooms: Seven
• Bathrooms: Five
• Year Built: 1921
• Listing Agents: Claudia Donovan and Richard Seaton, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

Gone in Five Days on Parker Street

This home sits on Parker Street, a one-block community tucked away behind Union Station near H Street. It’s an updated, small, turn-of-the-century rowhouse with 1.5 updated bathrooms. (That extra half-bath is a coveted feature in these tiny rowhomes.) Parker Street’s known for being a tight community that holds monthly happy hours and the annual Porker Street Fest. For likely a variety of reasons, a few mentioned here, this home found a buyer in five days.

• Address: 225 Parker Street NE (map)
• Days on Market: 5
• Price: $499,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Year Built: 1900
• Listing Agents: Jason Martin, Keller Williams Capital Properties

Under a Week in Mount Pleasant

This 5,000 square foot rowhouse was one of the largest and priciest homes to hit the market in Mount Pleasant in quite a while. Renovated in 2005 to make the downstairs larger and the bedrooms bigger, the result was a comfortable, spacious house with a functional layout. The kitchen and bathrooms are all updated, and there’s an income suite in the basement to take pressure off the hefty mortgage. It too found a buyer in under a week.

• Address: 1730 Park Road NW (map)
• Days on Market: 5
• Price: $1,450,000
• Bedrooms: Five + income suite
• Bathrooms: 3.5 + income suite
• Year Built: 1910
• Listing Agents: Kelly Williams and Loic Pritchett, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty
