Re-imagined Victorian in Bloomingdale

In late November, Lori Steenhoek helped “re-imagine“ a vacant Bloomingdale row house. The four-bedroom home had been carefully gutted by the sellers and was ready for a renovation. Among the many aspects that were re-imagined, Steenhoek visualized an open floor plan, a double-sided fireplace and a second story balcony. Now the house is likely to see its potential realized (in some way); after about a month on the market, the property went under contract last week.

• Address: 27 Quincy Place NW (map)
• Price: $510,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1895
• Days on the Market: 26

Recently Updated Petworth Three-Bedroom Row House

Earlier this month, a Petworth home caught UrbanTurf’s eye for our What $370,000 Buys You feature. Like many homes in the neighborhood, the three-bedroom had been at least partially updated in the past five years. There is a partially finished basement, a patio, a deep backyard and a tool shed that UrbanTurf was particularly fond of. It garnered a good amount of attention, and found a buyer after only three days on the market.

• Address: 4107 8th Street NW (map)
• Price: $370,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1912
• Days on the Market: 3

Mount Pleasant Fairy Tale House

UrbanTurf readers will probably recognize this house as we featured the Mount Pleasant Tudor with a fairy-tale look as This Week’s Find a couple weeks ago. The three-bedroom house had been renovated throughout and had some very appealing spaces, like a climate-controlled home office above the garage and a wall of windows looking out onto a private back patio. It was one of Redfin’s most popular listings for a two-week period within days of hitting the market, and went under contract in a week.

• Address: 1734 Irving Street NW (map)
• Listing Price: $739,555
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1927
• Days on the Market: 7
