In What X Buys You this week, UrbanTurf takes a look at properties on the market in the $700,000 range to give readers an idea of what type of homes are available at this price point in the DC area.

A Craftsman in Brookland

This three-bedroom has the kind of picturesque exterior that homes in Brookland are known for. In addition to a front and back yard and garage, the house has a comfortable interior, though the tiled kitchen and downstairs bathroom may portend a renovation for the eventual buyer. The upstairs bedrooms are spacious and the basement is finished. The home looks onto Fort Bunker Hill Park and is a few blocks from the Brookland Metro.

• Full Listing: 3628 13th St NE (map)
• Price: $689,000
• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: Two
• Year Built: 1928
• Listing Agent: Jacob Abbott, Prudential PenFed Realty

Semi-Detached in American University Park

With just a little remodeling, the main level of this semi-detached rowhouse in AU Park, currently segmented into living and dining spaces with a separate kitchen at the back, could turn into a bright open-concept space. Still, the three-level, three-bedroom has a lot to offer at the price point, including a front porch, a rear deck, a large backyard with a patio, and off-street parking.

• Full Listing: 4624 43rd Place NW (map)
• Price: $699,000

A Loft in Logan

Genuine lofts with historic pasts are hard to come by in DC, which is why we’ve covered the Rainbow Lofts several times at UrbanTurf. The 21-unit condo project in the 1400 block of Church Street is located in the former Rainbow Auto Body Shop. This one-bedroom unit, like its neighbors, has an abundance of exposed brick, along with tall ceilings, a fireplace, an updated kitchen open to the living space and a dining nook.

• Price: $724,900
