Large Cleveland Park Bungalow With a Guest House
This large Cleveland Park bungalow is an accessible, bright option in this high-end price range. It doesn’t have an untouchable, luxury vibe, and rather feels welcoming and comfortable. Recently renovated, the five-bedroom has a kitchen with the latest appliances, built-ins in the office and master bedroom, and large windows throughout. There are also several extra spaces: the lower level is finished with another kitchen, and out back is a studio or guest house, as well as a deck, a flagstone patio, a vegetable garden and a large yard.

Dupont Circle Rowhouse Renovated in a Contemporary Style
In 2012, this Dupont Circle rowhouse underwent a renovation that brought contemporary style to a historic rowhouse. The floating staircase and open floor plan on the main floor allow light to flow through, and the kitchen cabinets are now flat and minimal. Even with the changes, the home still has some historic flair, like dark wood around doors, windows and four fireplaces. The lower level has a rentable one-bedroom unit.

- Price: $1.75 million
- Bedrooms: Four
