Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday April 14th

It’s getting harder and harder to find nice condos in the $300′s these days.  That’s why my heart skipped a beat when I previewed the adorable and romantic 101 North Carolina Ave SE #A-200 earlier today!

Listed at $319k, this lovely little pied a terre is in a renovated historic convent.  The building echoes the other classic Capitol Hill rowhouses on one of the loveliest blocks on the Hill.  The unit itself marries old world details like high ceilings, fireplace, gleaming parquet floors, and crown molding with a granite/stainless kitchen and great closet space.  Enjoy the views of Monument, Capitol and Library of Congress from your quiet, smoke free and pet friendly building!  Open Sunday from 1-4.

Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday March 17th

In the nearly 20 years I’ve lived on the Hill, the boundaries of what is widely considered “Greater Capitol Hill” have really expanded.  It used to really not go much further east than Lincoln Park or much north of  H St.  Now, with strategic development in places like NoMa and around the Union Market, Capitol Hill home buyers are really spreading out.  I’ve been spending  a lot of time taking buyers to see properties in areas like Eckington and Trinidad, where you can still get a lot of bang for your buck.  Moving forward, I’ll be including these areas in the weekly open house roundup and in the link of Capitol Hill open houses.

39 V St, NE , open Sunday from 1-4, is a great example of the type of house you can find now in Eckington.  This 1910 end unit townhouse has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and  a family room with wet bar.   It’s  completely renovated with an open floor plan, exposed brick wall, bamboo flooring, gas fireplace and gourmet kitchen.  Listed at $599k, it’s significantly less pricey than what it would be if it were located on the south side of Florida Ave.

Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday March 10th

There have been some nice places popping up in the Kingman Park area .. if you were around last summer , you may remember the opening of the beautiful Rosedale Recreation Center, with library and pool , at 17th and Gales Sts NE.  There is a very neat little neighborhood all around the Rec Center that remains quite affordable.

Take 330 19th St NE for example.   Listed at $525k, its a very cute porchfront and has been rebuilt from the inside out: with new plumbing, wiring, windows, floors, kitchen, baths, you name it.  It has that open floorplan many people love with  2BR/2BA + den up, and big den/guest suite with bath down below.  Double decks in back and offstreet parking; open Sunday from 2-4.
