Contemporary in Foggy Bottom

Like the Foxhall house above, this large two-bedroom has a facade that disguises a contemporary interior. The listing opens into a formal living area with a fireplace before leading into an open dining room and then a family room towards the back of the house. The kitchen is placed against the back wall, taking up little space on the home’s first floor and allowing more space for the living area. Doors and ceiling-height windows make up the back wall, and behind that is the a brick patio. Upstairs the bathrooms feature glass-walled showers, brushed metal taps and square basins. The home found a buyer in about six days.

• Full Listing: 2503 I Street NW (map)
• Price: $1,200,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 2.5
• Year Built: 1900
