A $1.5 million budget doesn't stretch as far as it used to in the DC area, but it still buys different lifestyles depending on where — and what — a buyer is looking for. This week, UrbanTurf rounds up three listings clustered around that price point: a waterfront condo at The Wharf, a turnkey income property in Dupont Circle, and a fully reimagined Colonial in Brightwood.

45 Sutton Square SW, #406 | The Wharf | $1,549,000

Perched inside Vio, this two-bedroom, two-bath condo spreads out over 1,670 square feet and comes with the kind of amenity package that is standard for new-construction buildings along The Wharf: 24-hour concierge, a rooftop saltwater infinity pool, a gym with a dedicated yoga studio, and direct-access elevators. The unit has floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank hardwood floors, 9-foot ceilings, and a private balcony. Built in 2017, Vio sits a short walk from The Wharf's restaurant and retail corridor, with the Waterfront Metro station and the Southwest Waterfront Park nearby.

1729 Church Street NW | Dupont Circle | $1,590,000

For a buyer thinking about house-hacking or straight investment, this triplex in Dupont Circle offers a different kind of value proposition. The rowhouse was renovated in 2006 into three modern units with exposed brick, stainless steel appliances, and private rear balconies. It's currently generating $6,300 a month in rental income with one unit vacant. The listing is already set up as a condominium, so a future owner could split and sell the units individually. It sits steps from Hank's Oyster Bar, Astoria, and Anju, with Whole Foods, Safeway, and the Dupont Circle farmer's market all within a few blocks.

1507 Underwood Street NW | Brightwood | $1,550,000

This 1939 Colonial five houses off 16th Street has been fully reimagined into a modern five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home spanning roughly 3,278 square feet across multiple levels. The renovation preserved the home's classic exterior while rebuilding the interior for contemporary living, with a finished lower level, off-street parking, and a layout designed for entertaining.
