Under Contract: From 24 Hours to Ten Days
In Under Contract this week, UrbanTurf looks at homes that were recently featured and snatched up in times ranging from 24 hours to ten days.

Ten Days Tucked Away Near the Cathedral
This four-bedroom rowhouse is located in a pocket near Wisconsin and Massachusetts avenues where homes rarely go on the market, which is perhaps why it went under contract after just ten days. The listing has a mostly traditional floor plan with a fireplace and built-in shelving in the living room and an updated kitchen with a thin island. At the back of the kitchen are glass doors that lead to a landscaped backyard with a stone patio and a koi pond. However, it’s the lower level that stands out. It’s been recently renovated and is modern with track lighting, sleek shelving and white tiled flooring.

- Price: $1,199,000
- Bedrooms: Four
- Bathrooms: 3.5
- Year Built: 1915
- Listing Agent: Paul Pike, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty
