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.

• Price: $712,900
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1910

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.

• Price: $719,000
