A Three-Bedroom Langdon Cape Cod in Five Days

We featured this three-bedroom Langdon Cape Cod in Best New Listings last week and it found a buyer just a day ago. At some point, the interior of the home was renovated, which means that it carried a higher price tag than similarly sized properties in the neighborhood, but it spreads out nicely over its almost 2,000 square feet. There is a finished lower level, a front porch, a good-sized backyard and off-street parking.

• Address: 2020 Douglas Street NE (map)
• Price: $569,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1929
• Days on Market: Five
• Listing Agent: Jonathan Eng, Century 21 Redwood Realty

A Cool Capitol Hill Rowhouse, Gone in Four Days

There are no indications that the competitive Capitol Hill market is cooling off, and this three-bedroom Victorian on the Hill is further evidence of the trend. It was renovated by the owner, a landscape architect and features a very cool kitchen with a wood-beamed ceiling, a screen porch lined with lockers that leads out to a patio and the original pine floors have been preserved throughout the listing. Downstairs, a rec room has low ceilings as well as a bit of a 1960s surfer vibe. Also featured last week, the 10th Street listing was under contract in four days.

• Address: 120 10th Street NE (map)
• Price: $885,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Days on Market: Four
• Listing Agents: Maria Strylowski, Coldwell Banker

A Capitol Hill Rowhouse With Plenty of Nooks

Here’s another beautifully renovated Capitol Hill rowhouse that flew off the market in under a week. The four-bedroom features multi-level spaces and careful use of exposed brick to make a visitor feel like they’re exploring a castle, with cozy places to chat, window seats to read, built-in bookshelves, a loft in one bedroom, a study with a library at the top of the stairs and a built-in breakfast nook in the updated kitchen. Downstairs is an rental unit. We knew this wouldn’t last long when we featured it; it was gone in under a week.

• Address: 1004 D Street SE (map)
• Price: $1,079,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1908
• Days on Market: Six
• Listing Agent: Peter Raia, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage
