Under Contract: Three Days in Adams Morgan, 13 on the Hill

• January 22, 2015

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

Just Off Lincoln Park and Gone in 13 Days

This rowhouse on Capitol Hill, just off Lincoln Park and a few blocks from Eastern Market, found a buyer just before it was on the market for two weeks. The great location, in-law suite and interior renovation probably helped it sell quickly. (And a colorful listing description from DC’s Poet Realtor never hurts.) Inside is a renovated kitchen with room for a couple of barstools at the counter, plus an adjacent area for a dining table that seats eight. Upstairs are two nicely-sized bedrooms and what appears to be a den-sized room. The house has an in-law suite in the basement.

• Price: $848,500
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1912

Off the Market After Three Days in Adams Morgan

There was obviously a lot to like about this two-story unit on the top floor of a converted Victorian rowhouse in Adams Morgan, which went under contract within 72 hours of hitting the market. The large, open concept living and dining room has plenty of windows to let in light, and upstairs there’s a large balcony with room for dining, lounging and grilling. This listing — one of eight in the complex — is in a new building, constructed in 2012, that houses five units and sits behind the old rowhouse.

• Price: $749,900
• HOA Fee: $297/month
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,279
• Listing Agent: Timur Loynab, McWilliams|Ballard
