Three Days For One of Takoma Park's Earliest Homes

Built nearly 150 years ago, this Takoma Park farmhouse predates the founding of the neighborhood and a buyer was drawn to that as the home found a buyer in just three days. Inside, three bedrooms and period details — detailed wood trim, original hardwood floors, multiple fireplaces, and exposed brick — fill the main and upper levels, while a walkout lower level with a second kitchen and full bath offers in-law suite potential. The traditional kitchen retains its own fireplace alongside gas cooking, a tile backsplash, and glass-front cabinetry, opening to a side entrance that leads out to the porch.

• Full Listing: 7214 Cedar Avenue (map)
• Price: $1.195 million 
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1873
• Days On Market: 3
• Listing Agent: Dan Metcalf, Perennial Real Estate

The View At The Top Of The Watergate

One of only four Watergate West penthouses with direct Potomac River views, this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath corner co-op spent about a month and a half on the market. Spread across nearly 2,000 interior square feet, the home's living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace on one end and a wall of built-in bookshelves on the other, with a wall of windows in between. A private bedroom wing houses two generously sized suites, each with Potomac views, while the primary offers dual closets, a jetted tub, and a frameless glass shower. The crown jewel of the unit may be outside: a 900-square-foot private roof terrace.

• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 2.5
