Brick and Irregular Angles in Bethesda

Brick rowhouses are common in the District; less common are all-brick mid-century homes in the suburbs. This Bethesda home’s facade has sharp angles, cylindrical surfaces, few windows and is 100 percent brick. The interior reflects the unusual exterior, with angled ceilings, a sunroom with exposed brick walls, and more windows looking out into the private and woodsy backyard. With over 4,000 square feet, there are some cool spaces, including a lofted sitting area at the top of the house.

Castle-Like Corner Unit in Capitol Hill

With turrets, Juliet balconies and spiky ornamentation, this Capitol Hill home’s facade has a vaguely medieval feel. Located on the corner of a triangular block, the four-bedroom listing has an unusual, non-rectangular layout that allows for an oversized living room and master bedroom. The lower level is finished in a cave-like fashion, with walls of exposed brick. We also appreciate the classic details like the tin ceiling in the dining room and the bathroom’s black and white tile floor.

• Full Listing: 801 Massachusetts Avenue NE (map)
• Price: $1.095 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1890
• Listing Agent: Jane Siena, TTR Sotheby’s International Realty
