One Block from the Georgetown Waterfront

The area between the canal and the river in Georgetown has plenty of swanky condos (with more on the way); this unit is in James Place, an 85-unit building that was built in 1980. While the exterior has an 80s feel, the interior has a few modern touches, like exposed cement beams and a glassy kitchen backsplash. The HOA fees are on the high side.

• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
