Deal of the Week: BBQing in Columbia Heights

We featured this two-bedroom condo as our Deal of the Week last week, and it went under contract soon after. We joked that now that the temperature has returned to a reasonable summer level, the huge outdoor patio for this unit would entice buyers. In addition to the patio (where the grill and patio furniture conveyed), the unit has a big open living room with full-size windows, a master bedroom with windows facing the private terrace, and a secure, off-street parking space.

• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,455 (including patio space)
• Days on Market: 8 days

What $285K Buys You: Roof Access in Columbia Heights

It took awhile (and a price reduction), but this one-bedroom unit that we featured in mid-June in our What X Buys You feature has found a buyer to take advantage of one of the most sought-after amenities for buyers in the city: a roof deck. At 550 square feet, the condo is not very large, but the building is pet-friendly, has low monthly condo fees and is about a five-minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro. Along with a $10K price reduction a few weeks ago, the deck on the roof may be what sold the buyer, as it will serve as a good place to invite friends when the unit gets too cramped.

• Price: $274,900
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 550
• Days on Market: 49 days
