Across the DC area, $1.8 million doesn't land you in the ultra-luxury tier, but it does buy considerable variety — a Victorian in Mount Pleasant, a fully reimagined mid-century in Chevy Chase, or a piece of Capitol Hill history. This week, UrbanTurf rounds up three homes around that price point.

1705 Lamont St NW, Washington, DC 20010 | $1,895,000 | 5 beds, 3.5 baths | Built 1909

This extra-wide four-level Victorian in Mt. Pleasant has stayed remarkably true to its original character: leaded-glass sidelights, an arched entry staircase, stained glass, wood paneling, and a coffered-ceiling dining room. The kitchen mixes marble flooring and countertops with a retro-style gas range, and opens to a rebuilt deck and paver patio. Beyond the rear gate sits a converted carriage house now serving as a one-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a sitting area and an elaborate bath built around a salvaged mantel from a historic Boston mansion, while the top floor adds a bedroom with a private covered porch and another with 13-foot ceilings and a Juliet balcony. The lower level is a separately metered apartment with its own entrances — a built-in rental or in-law option.

3400 Pauline Dr, Chevy Chase, MD 20815 | $1,850,000 | 5 beds, 4 baths | Built 1955

This mid-century Chevy Chase home underwent a top-to-bottom renovation a few years ago. The main level holds four bedrooms and two full and one half bath, anchored by a chef's kitchen with an oversized island, Carrara quartz counters, and GE Profile appliances; two fireplaces and a vaulted primary suite add to the layout. The finished, walkout lower level brings a fifth bedroom, another full and half bath, a recreation room with a second fireplace, and a built-in wet bar. Outside, the quarter-acre, flat lot has a fenced garden, driveway parking for three cars, a new roof, and an EV charging port.

1000 Maryland Ave NE, Washington, DC 20002 | $1,750,000 | 6 beds, 3 baths | Built 1899

This corner property near Stanton Park has been in the same hands for a quarter-century, and it shows in the best way: original floors, doors, trim casing, and cove molding are all intact, along with a prominent wraparound porch and a towering corner turret overlooking the lawn and gardens. The upper residence has four bedrooms and two full baths across roughly 2,400 square feet, while a separate two-bedroom apartment below — with its own entrance and connecting interior stairs — offers flexibility for extended family or rental income.
