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

Under Contract: Gone in Under a Week: Figure 1

Five Days for a Mount Pleasant Victorian

This Mount Pleasant three-bedroom has an interesting history: over one hundred years ago it was actually moved from several streets east to its current location. The home’s history as a summer home can be seen in its multiple balconies, tall windows and exposed beams. The fireplace in the living room has a modern facade and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms have contemporary finishings as well. We hear that there were six offers and the price went well above asking.

  • Full Listing: 1886 Newton Street NW (map)
  • Price: $1,199,000
  • Days on Market: Five
  • Bedrooms: Three
  • Bathrooms: 2.5
  • Year Built: 1910
  • Listing Agents: Kelly Williams and Loic Pritchett, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty

Six Days for a Capitol Hill Chargeport

There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms in this Capitol Hill rowhouse but its coolest feature may be the electric car charging port in the two-car garage.

The bedrooms are spacious and well-lit.

  • Full Listing: 1311 Independence Avenue NE (map)
  • Price: $899,999
  • Days on Market: Six
  • Bedrooms: Three
