About a Week for a Rowhouse on the Hill

This two-bedroom, one-bath house on Warren Street — a one-way, one-block street we’ve documented in our Hidden Places feature — went under contract in just over a week. The exposed brick-filled home has an updated kitchen, a deck and patio out back and two nicely-sized bedrooms upstairs, though at 770 square feet, it looks a little lean on closet space.

• Full Listing: 258 Warren Street NE (map)
• Price: $524,900
• Days on Market: 8
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1912
• Listing Agent: Johanna Baker, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Four Days for a Spacious Unit on the Top Floor of a Lanier Heights Condo Building

This large listing in Lanier Heights spreads out over about 1,500 square feet, which may have contributed to the quick pace with which it exited the market. High ceilings, built-ins and moulding give the two-bedroom unit character. One bedroom is connected to a sunroom with room for plants, a lounge and a small dining area. There’s a larger dining area not far from the galley-style kitchen. The condo comes with two storage units and a parking spot.

• Full Listing: 1623 Lanier Place NW, #301 (map)
• Price: $595,000
• Days on Market: 4
• HOA Fees: $480/month
