What's Hot: 3,000 Units, 20 Acres of Open Space: Zoning Change Looks to Pave Way For DC's Biggest Development
Under Contract: Ten Days or Less, From Takoma to Capitol Hill
In Under Contract this week, UrbanTurf takes a look back at three recently-featured listings, including two early 20th-century houses on opposite sides of the city, that found buyers in 10 days or less.

Ten Days for Petite House on the Hill
In a few years, the blocks surrounding this squat Federal rowhouse will be dappled with new developments and amenities, including redeveloped Safeway and Frager’s hardware stores and a repurposed, expanded version of the historic Shotgun House. The renovated house found a buyer in ten days and, along with its exterior architecture, has a traditional interior typical of the neighborhood. The rear of the house is visible from the living room, shotgun-style. A countertop divides the kitchen from the formal dining room, where a door provides access to the rear porch and the paved patio below.

Bonus Breakfast Space in Takoma Bungalow
It took less than a week for this Takoma bungalow to go under contract.

On the main level, the kitchen area and its abutting dining room and skylit breakfast nook take up a sizeable corner. The bathroom on the upper level has a skylight and heated floors and is on the upper level with the four bedrooms. There is also a front porch and rear patio, a partially-finished basement and a garage in the backyard.
