A Charming Georgetown Rowhouse on a Tucked-Away Street

The curb appeal of this rowhouse tucked away on Cecil Place in Georgetown is hard to beat, however it is not a very large home once you get inside. Like a lot of smaller rowhouses in the neighborhood, the footprint of this two-bedroom is tall, but not very deep. The kitchen and dining room are on the second floor of the three-story house, and the master bedroom overlooks a courtyard. Extras include a wood-burning fireplace and a patio out back.

• Full Listing: 1041 Cecil Place NW (map)
• Price: $779,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Year Built: 1850
• Listing Agent: Lenore Rubino, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Update: This home went under contract late on Wednesday.

Get a little more of everything in Silver Spring’s Woodside Forest neighborhood; this three-bed, three-bath colonial comes with a backyard so sprawling that two separate dining sets look like lonely islands on the patio.

A Shepherd Park Colonial
