This week in Under Contract, UrbanTurf takes a look at three homes that were recently featured and then snatched up by buyers in times ranging from just six days to almost five months.

Six Days For a Colorful Capitol Hill Home

This Capitol Hill home quickly caught the eye of a buyer, as it took just six days for it to go under contract. The rowhouse has an eye-grabbing exterior which is painted a soft yellow with light green trimming. Inside, original hardwood floors and exposed brick run throughout the first floor. The kitchen is located in a nook off the dining space and the brick walls make for a striking backsplash. Two doors branch off of the dining/kitchen space to the backyard and lower level. A large deck sits on the back of the home. Another family space with kitchen area is located on the lower level, which includes a fireplace.

• Days on Market: Six

• Bathrooms: 3.5

Almost Five Months for a Chevy Chase Colonial

This home took awhile to find a buyer, but it remains an UrbanTurf favorite. The Chevy Chase colonial sits elevated above the street on a landscaped yard overlooked by a wide front porch. The lower level is laid out for entertaining both inside and on the porch. Upstairs the bedrooms are large, though the master bathroom is a little outdated. The home has a detached two-car garage.

Almost a Month for this Georgetown Condo

There is a shared courtyard that’s pet-friendly and it’s also across the street from Rose Park, for additional outdoor activities. It found a buyer in about a month.
