Townhouse Condo Near the Water in Georgetown

This two-bedroom, two-level listing on Paper Mill Court near the Georgetown waterfront is set up with the living area downstairs and the bedrooms up top. One of the bedrooms is on the small side and the unit has some outdated accents, but the kitchen is in good shape and the real draw of the listing boils down to one word: location.

• Full Listing: 1019 Paper Mill Court NW, #1019 (map)
• Price: $600,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Year Built: 1900
• HOA Fee: $495/month
• Listing Agent: John Walker, Keller Williams Realty

Wide-Open Loft in Mt. Vernon Square/Logan Circle

This two-bedroom straddling Mt. Vernon Square and the eastern edge of Logan Circle offers 1,450 wide open square feet, providing about as close as a loft feel as once can get in the city. The unit has been on the market about a week in a contemporary building built seven years ago. The condo fees are high on this one ($751), but for a full price offer, the seller will take care of those for a year, as well as 3 percent of closing costs.

• Full Listing: 1125 11th Street NW #101 (map)
• Price: $529,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 2007
• Listing Agent: Sheila Hansen, Coldwell Banker Brokerage

A Family Four-Bedroom in Silver Spring

This house in Silver Spring has been on the market for 81 days, but its four-bed, four-bath layout with a big backyard makes a lot of sense for a family looking to get more space for their money. It features lots of charming accents like exposed brick, built-ins, and fireplaces, as well as practical conveniences, like a finished basement.

• Full Listing: 724 Dennis Avenue, Silver Spring, MD (map)
• Price: $569,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Four
• Year Built: 1939
• Listing Agent: Cynthia McIver, Cranford & Associates
