Under Contract: The Bloomingdale Inn

• December 6, 2012

In Under Contract this week, UrbanTurf looks back at properties it has featured over the past couple weeks that were snatched up by DC’s alert buyers in just a matter of days. Today, we look back at a couple properties in two very hip neighborhoods.

The Bloomingdale Inn

The Bloomingdale Inn, a ten-room bed and breakfast spanning two rowhouses, had been on the market in recent years without finding a buyer. Last week, the Inn hit the market again, but with a twist. The property had been divided into two for-sale listings — one for $650,000 and another for $615,000. The less expensive row house had a few hurdles to overcome, like the lack of a kitchen or staircase, but that that doesn’t appear to have mattered. The listing agent tells UrbanTurf that both properties are now under contract with the same buyer.

• Address: 2415 and 2417 1st Street NW (map)
• Price: $650,000 and $615,000
• Bedrooms: Ten
• Bathrooms: Five
• Days on Market: 9

H Street Corridor Home With Exposed Beams

Last Friday, one of our Best New Listings was a renovated row house with features like a floating staircase and exposed beams, which gave the home a particularly urban vibe. The open floor plan, shiny kitchen, cool back patio, cozy finished basement and close proximity to the Rock and Roll Hotel appealed to someone: the home went under contract just four days later.

• Address: 610 14th Street NE (map)
• Price: $659,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1907
• Days on Market: 4
