In What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties on the market in the $710,000 to $720,000 range to give readers an idea of what type of homes are available in this price point in the DC area.

Down the Street From the Capitol

This Capitol Hill rowhouse is tucked away on Duddington Place, a one-block, one-way street a couple blocks south of the Capitol South Metro station. Besides the convenient location, close to the Capitol, the Library of Congress and the National Mall, the home is modest and comfortable, though some buyers may be interested in updating the kitchen and bathrooms.

• Full Listing: 120 Duddington Place SE (map)
• Price: $715,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1894
• Listing Agent: Clifford Willis, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Arlington Farmhouse on a Large Lot

This Arlington listing sits on a big, grassy lot, though it is in clear view of some denser high-rise areas. The large kitchen, reasonably sized bedrooms and the window seat along the upper level hallway are pluses. Perhaps the coolest part of the farmhouse is the oversized garage in the back, which has a raw upper level that could be finished and turned into a work area, studio or guest room.

• Full Listing: 4134 Lee Highway, Arlington, VA (map)
• Price: $712,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1910
• Listing Agent: John Plank, Long & Foster Real Estate

Modern and Industrial in Adams Morgan

This two-bedroom, loft-like condo is in Adams Row, an industrial-looking 68-unit building that went up in 2005. Large windows, exposed piping, a floating staircase and the abundant use of concrete make the unit feel modern. This listing is a penthouse, with a generous floorplan, a guest suite and a private terrace.

• Full Listing: 2301 Champlain Street NW, #404 (map)
• Price: $719,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: Two
• Square Footage: 1,300
• HOA Fees: $470 per month

   From the outside, the home on the Hill looks nice. Though, not a classic Victorian, as it states on the CBmove website. I would say cozy, though the photos don't make it seem spacious. The layout is also a little strange, especially on the first floor and also the bathroom with the w/d (probably the master bath). Wouldn't you have to add a railing to the staircase, as I think that is necessary for code? The outdoor space is a great bonus.
