In this week's Under Contract, we highlight homes in 16th Street Heights and Brookland that recently found buyers.
Four Days For Five Bedrooms In 16th Street Heights
Built by renowned architect Lewis Giles, this five-bedroom was only on the market for a few days before finding a buyer. The listing maintains many of the original details from when it was constructed in 1937, but the sellers have also made nearly half a million dollars in improvements in recent years. In addition to five bedrooms, the home has a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, a separate dining room, and not one, but two family rooms. There is also an in-law suite on the lower level and out back, a landscaped backyard, vegetable/flower garden and a two-car garage.

A Few Weeks For A Brookland Four-Bedroom
This Brookland listing -- with tremendous curb appeal and an intriguing secret in the basement -- spent about three weeks on the market before going under contract with contingencies a few days ago. The home has the original 1920 pine floors, and the beams that line the ceiling on the first level are all reclaimed wood. The coolest nugget about the property is that the basement housed a speakeasy during Prohibition, and that there was a little door into an area where liquor bottles could be concealed in the wall.
- Full Listing: 2807 13th Street NE (map)
- Price: $925,000
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: Three
- Square Feet: 2,556
- Year Built: 1920
- Listing Agent: Homaira Karimi, TTR Sotheby's International Realty
