A Little Bit of California in Observatory Circle
The exterior of this 1926 Mission revival in Observatory Circle brings to mind homes that one might find up and down the California coast. Inside, the spacious rooms flow from one to the next through large, open doorways. UrbanTurf’s favorite room is the kitchen, which is made bright by a wall of windows and a series of skylights scattered on the ceiling. The listing comes with a one-car garage, a finished lower level and a deep backyard.

An Original in Dupont Circle
The original details are what stands out in this home on the 1700 block of P Street in Dupont Circle.

The home also features an in-law suite, a large back deck and off-street parking. While it is a four-bedroom townhome, it is classified as a condo, so there are monthly fees.
