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.

A Dream Backyard in Woodside Forest
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. The interior is mostly updated, though some of the wallpaper may not be to everyone’s taste, but hey, that can be changed!

- Price: $799,900

A Shepherd Park Colonial
This three-bedroom in the Shepherd Park neighborhood has a bright and comfortable enclosed porch that serves as an additional living room. The interior is updated, especially the gleaming and classically styled kitchen, and a master closet has been carefully redone. Some parts of the house, including the attic and a couple of the bathrooms, seem like they could use another look.
