Under Contract: The Best New Listings in Under a Week
In this week’s Under Contract, UrbanTurf features the three properties that we featured in Best New Listings ten days ago. All three went under contract in six days or less.
A Takoma Park Bungalow with a Jungle Outside
This Takoma Park bungalow needs some work on the inside and functions more like a two-bedroom than three-bedroom, but the home has an attic space and an unfinished basement, as well as a charming exterior the looks like it belongs in northern California. There is plenty of outdoor space with a generous front porch, and a gravel walk out back bounded by garden beds, plus a garage and a large patio. The home find a buyer in a mere five days.
- Address: 68 Walnut Avenue, Takoma Park, MD (map)
- Price: $499,000
- Bedrooms: Three
- Bathrooms: Two
- Year Built: 1923
- Days on Market: 5
- Listing Agent: Meg Finn, Long & Foster Real Estate
A Kalorama Condo with a Balcony and Plenty of Updates
Given the price and layout of this Kalorama condo, we didn’t see it lasting on the market much beyond the weekend it was listed. It did, but was off the market after five days. There are two nicely-sized bedrooms sharing one bath, and the large combined living and dining room has a wall of built-in bookcases that add character to the space. The unit has a charming balcony that wraps around the side of the building, as well as an assigned parking space.

- Listing Agent: Cheryl Kurss, Long & Foster Real Estate
An 1806 Capitol Hill Rowhouse
This cottage-like home was built in 1806, and it’s wider than the typical Capitol Hill rowhouse. Improvements have been added over time that make the interior pop. Inside, the layout also differs from the traditional set-up of a similar house on the Hill. There’s a separate living room with a fireplace on the first floor, with a combined kitchen-and-dining room in the back leading onto the patio. Upstairs are two generous bedrooms and a laundry room. It found a buyer in just under a week.
- Address: 816 G Street SE (map)
- Price: $748,500
- Bedrooms: Two
- Bathrooms: 1.5
- Year Built: 1806
