In Under Contract, UrbanTurf looks back at properties it has featured recently that were snatched up by DC’s alert buyers.

Four-Bedroom Between Bloomingdale and Shaw

This renovated four-bedroom has a short, narrow footprint, and some potential buyers may have been turned off by the lack of a dining room area. However, the location and good condition appealed to someone: the listing went under contract in just a week. The home is located just below Florida Avenue on 4th Street NW, within a three block radius of several cool neighborhood amenities, including the Shaw Metro station, Big Bear cafe, and the Howard Theater.

• Address: 1706 4th Street NW (map)
• Price: $575,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1900
• Days on Market: 7

Chevy Chase Colonial With a Finished Attic

This Chevy Chase colonial is fit for a family, with a large lot and four bedrooms. The listing is set behind a fence and a few mature trees, and has a front porch spanning the width of the house. Inside, several sitting areas are spread throughout the main floor, two with fireplaces. The home found a buyer in a week.

• Address: 5406 41st Street NW (map)
• Price: $1.235 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5

Petworth Wardman With Recent Renovations

We featured this attractively renovated Petworth Wardman last Friday; by Sunday, the home was under contract.

We particularly liked the master bathroom, with a giant window overlooking the street, and a cool built-in display case over drawers in the living room.
