In Under Contract, UrbanTurf looks back at properties it has featured that were snatched up by buyers in the DC area.

Five-Bedroom Townhouse Right in U Street Corridor

This townhouse, featured in What (Around) $1 Million Buys last week, near the intersection of 13th and U Street NW is essentially two sections. Upstairs is a three-bedroom, two-bath home with a living room, dining room, kitchen set-up on the first level and three bedrooms on the second. Downstairs is a two-bedroom, two-bath in-law suite. The listing also has secured parking in the back that, depending on the size, may be able to fit two cars. All those attributes resulted in the home finding a buyer in just days.

• Address: 2011 13th Street NW (map)
• Price: $1.08 million
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: Four
• Year Built: 1906
• Days on Market: Three

Dupont Circle Rowhouse Renovated in a Contemporary Style

In 2012, this Dupont Circle listing underwent a renovation that brought contemporary style to a historic rowhouse. The floating staircase and open floor plan on the main floor allow light to flow through, and the kitchen cabinets are now flat and minimal. Even with the changes, the home still has some historic flair, like dark wood around doors, windows and four fireplaces. The lower level has a rentable one-bedroom unit. Featured on UrbanTurf back in November, it went under contract right after the new year.

• Address: 1731 R Street NW (map)
• Price: $1.75 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 4.5
• Year Built: 1895
• Days on Market: About two months
