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

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. Inside, the home is renovated with modern trimmings. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and a tiled backsplash and the backyard has a two-story deck. The bedrooms are spacious and well-lit.

• Price: $899,999
