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

$156,000 Above Asking in Columbia Heights
Features as a Best New Listing a little over a week ago, this four-bedroom rowhouse stood out for its cozy, urban renovation: the wood trim around the windows and doorways has been painted a glossy black, there is a wall of exposed brick in the kitchen and adjacent sunroom, and many of the rooms are painted with bold colors. Overall, the home was solid and comfortable, and a second-story deck and one-bedroom in-law suite enhanced the listing’s appeal. The home found a buyer in just six days and we understand that it went under contract for close to $156,000 above the asking price.

A Tiered Backyard North of Hillcrest
This six-bedroom home is in Hillcrest, the suburban-feeling neighborhood east of the Anacostia River (and home to Mayor Vincent Gray). The large home has curb appeal, with a brick facade with steeply peaked roof lines set on a landscaped yard, and a standout tiered backyard with stone steps leading up to two distinct areas. The spacious home attracted attention immediately, and a buyer scooped it up in just four days.
- Address: 3120 O Street SE (map)
- Price: $449,900

- Year Built: 1947

1950s Rambler in Alexandria
After only two days on the market, this 1950s Alexandria rambler was snapped up by an alert buyer. The home has more of a contemporary feel on the inside than it does on the outside. It has beautiful dark hardwood floors on the main floor as well as a recently-updated kitchen. A finished basement features wood-paneled walls and built-in storage space. And a shed in the backyard provides additional storage.
