Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday May 20

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on May 18th, 2012
1501 D

With the beautiful spring weather we’ve been having, I’d love nothing more than to sit out on my screened in front porch with a frosty beverage.  Followed by dinner on my back patio deck,  surrounded by the mature plantings in my large established garden. 

Only I don’t actually *have* a screened in porch or a large established garden – but you can!

There is a beautiful corner Wardman open this Sunday from  1 – 3.  Listed at $699k, 1501 D St, NE  retains all the charm of its original plan and details, but with central air, granite kitchen, gas fireplace, insulated windows, garage, finished basement and enclosed air conditioned porches.  My favorite parts of the house, though, are the rare and lovely outdoor spaces , including the shady screened in front porch and beautifully landscaped back and side gardens.

The rest of the Sunday open houses are posted here.

Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday May 6th

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on May 4th, 2012

I’m really digging the crop of developer rehabbed houses popping up now, predominately in the NoMa and H St Corridor neighborhoods.  These are exciting, vibrant urban neighborhoods.  What’s more, since they are not in the official Capitol Hill designated historic district, developers and homeowners have a bit more leeway to do some very interesting things.

Case in point, I toured the newly listed 241 K St NE earlier this week with its developer,  Darryl Pounds of Pounds Properties.  Listed at $699,900. 241 K St NE has 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths and (get this) 3 car parking!   It’s an 1890 Victorian that’s been given a cool modern makeover with hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, exposed brick walls, Bosch appliance suite, Porceleonsa baths, large bedrooms & generous Southern exposure on all levels.  It’s a couple of blocks away from Union Station, the burgeoning H Street retail district &  the soon-to-be open Giant grocery store.

Go see for yourself, this Sunday from 1 – 4.  The rest of the Capitol Hill opens are posted here.

Capitol Hill Open Houses for Sunday April 29

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on April 27th, 2012

Like everyone else  who’s been on the Hill for any length of time (say longer than a couple of hours), I dream of an East Capitol Street address.  There’s a lovely home at 1313 East Capitol Street SE that’s been haunting my dreams for awhile. 

Dream Kitchen - 1313 East Cap

Listed at $1,095,000,  it’s a 1910 semidetachd Victorian that was completely rebuilt just a few years ago.  It has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a ,Master Bedroom Balcony, workshop, a silestone kitchen with  2 workdesks and the latest appliances.   Tons of built ins and light filled,; beautifully landscaped.   Check it out this Sunday from 1 – 3 and I guarantee you’ll be seeing it in your dreams too!  The rest of the Capitol Hill opens are posted here. 

I’ll be showing 710 4th St, NE from 2 – 4 … come by if you’re in the market for an affordable home in great shape just steps from all the H Street action!

Sunday Opens for April 22

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on April 20th, 2012

Take a look at 710 4th St, NE this Sunday from 1 – 4 … you’ll be glad you did!

It has 3 real bedrooms, 1.5 baths, custom closets & built ins, a large back yard patio and bonus 2nd floor sun deck!  There is alley access to the house and, if parking is your thing, carving out a parking spot from the large back yard would be an easy project.

I love the house and I especially love the location , just a few blocks from Union Station, and a half block from H Street and the new “urban concept Giant” that’s under construction at 4th and H.  This new Giant concept is closer to a Wegman’s than a Giant, and (just think) you’ll be able to see it from your 2nd floor sun deck ;)   Bring your checkbook; it’s listed at $669,900

Are you a hipster with a soft spot for Victoriana? 

There’s a lovely renovated  3br/2ba bayfront Victorian  open this Sunday from 2 – 4 located on a quiet street (trust me – I know firsthand it’s quiet because I lived on Linden Place back in the day)!  just steps from the happening end of H Street!  1213 Linden Place NE, listed at $579,900, comes with with many original details including  4 GORGEOUS decorative mantels &trim,  hardwood floors and crown molding.  There is even a good sized backyard with possible parking.  Check it out -  it’s going to be a beautiful day Sunday so why not head over to the outdoor patio at Biergartenhaus for drinks afterwards ?

I’ll be at the super cute 255 Warren St, NE on Sunday from 1 – 4.  I’ve blogged about this property before; it’s a fantastic condo alternative listed at $459.5k

Sunday Opens for March 25

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill DC condos, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on March 23rd, 2012

I’ve written about the condos at 315 G St, NE before but there’s more news to report.  I’m representing a buyer who is purchasing one; we brought in our home inspector last week to give both the unit and the building a thorough once over. 

Happy to report, both the unit and the building passed with flying colors!  The finishes, materials and workmanship received 2 thumbs up from our inspector.   I’m keener than ever on this super building in a terrific location ; the condos are brand new with great light and style.  There are a few floorplans to choose from (both 1 and 2 BR’s, ranging in price from the high 200′s to the mid 300′s).  They will be open this Sunday from 1 – 5.  The rest of the Cap Hill Sunday opens are posted here.

Sunday Opens for March 4th

Published by in Capitol Hill DC, Capitol Hill DC condos, Capitol Hill Open Houses, Capitol Hill Real Estate, DC Real Estate, Washington DC open houses on March 2nd, 2012

There’s a sweet little condo open this Saturday and Sunday from 1 – 3 in great shape and in an unbeatable location (Seward Square SE – right off PA Ave between 4th and 6th Streets SE,  just a couple blocks from Eastern Market) .  Listed at – wait for it – under $185k! 

Even though it’s small (389 sq feet), it’s thoughtfully laid out with a separate sleeping area and there’s space in the kitchen for a small table.  The kitchen has recently been remodeled and the floors refinished, so it’s a lovely little turnkey opportunity for a first time condo buyer or someone looking to invest in rental property.  For more information, check out the full listing for 414 Seward Sq, SE #203

The rest of the Sunday opens on the Hill are listed here (updated as of 11:25AM Sunday 3/4)!
