With 330+ open houses across DC this weekend, there’s plenty of reason to bundle up and go house hunting. Now that the clocks have fallen back and the leaves are littering the sidewalks, a chilly November weekend is a great time to duck into a few warm, well-lit homes, from a Shaw condo to a Fort Dupont rowhome to a Navy Yard co-op with a very low underlying interest rate. To see the full DC Open House list, click here.
1435 Chapin St NW #102 — $449,000 — Columbia Heights
Open Sun. 12-2PM — Jennifer Chow
“Tucked on a quiet, tree-lined one-way street beside Meridian Hill Park, this loft-style 1BR at The Barcelona sits on a raised first floor well above the street. Oversized south-facing windows wrap the living room corner and pour sunlight in all day, framing treetop views through every season.”
1237 Wylie St NE — $599,900 — H Street Corridor
Open Sun. 2-3PM — Mandy & Tim Hursen Jr.
“All the character of a classic DC row home—without the condo fees! You’ll fall in love with this renovated 2BR/1.5BA home on Wylie Street, a popular one-way residential street in the heart of H Street NE. Built in 1900, this two-level residence combines historic details with modern updates, an open floor plan, private outdoor space, and a convenient location.”
435 R St NW #101 — $599,999 — Shaw
Open Sat. 1-3PM — Fernando Garcia
“CENTRIE CHIC WITH AMAZING LIST PRICE! — On this one-way, tree-lined, Shaw sweet spot sits The Centrie. Inside this boutique, 22-unit building, No. 101 is a particular standout – and standup, raised above street level. Thanks to a professional designer’s expertise and the owner’s good taste, the unit’s two full bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled.”

Open Sun. 1-3PM — Joe Himali & Sierra Kim
$10k PRICE IMPROVEMENT: “Two original units combined into one expansive home. A rare private terrace, balconies stretching along the entire length of the residence, and the space to spread out. This two-bedroom, two-bath home at Harbour Square brings together a flexible floor plan, indoor-outdoor living, and all-inclusive cooperative convenience in the heart of Southwest Washington.”
6912 Greenvale St NW — $1,150,000 — Hawthorne
Open Sun. 2-4PM — Sherri Earman & Meaghan Parker
$50k PRICE IMPROVEMENT: “Realistic sellers! Welcome home to this stunning and also charming Tudor in the heart of the prestigious Hawthorne–Chevy Chase community, set on a quiet, tree-lined street on a private, beautifully manicured lot.”
1000 New Jersey Ave SE #511 — $559,900 — Navy Yard
Open Sun. 12-2PM — Dustin Borzet
$10k PRICE IMPROVEMENT: “Ultra-low 2.89% interest rate on $124K of the purchase price! Approximately $124K of the purchase price is financed through the co-op’s underlying mortgage, meaning buyers would only need to finance approximately $486K independently. Even more impressive, the underlying mortgage carries an ultra-low 2.89% interest rate! Welcome Home to this stunning residence in Capitol Hill Tower!”

Thanks to Melodie for sending her great haul from Benning Ridge:
“Just picked all of this from our backyard so I thought I’d see if others still have their gardens going. Our plants are still going strong with no freeze in sight. Cherry tomatoes, heirloom tomatoes, peas, green peppers, hot peppers, radishes.”

From a press release:
“Chandelier, an ultra-luxe 180-seat steakhouse and seafood concept inspired by globally recognized, experience-driven fine-dining restaurants in London, Turkey and Dubai, will debut within weeks at 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, steps from the White House, Old Post Office tower and more.
The most upscale of offerings from DC-based Keystone Hospitality Group (ZOOZ, Urban Roast), Chandelier is where luxury hospitality and memorable design meet culinary excellence, where diners can enjoy the escapism of a decadent night out enveloped by atmosphere, incredible food and frictionless – if occasionally theatrical – service.
Practically lined in black marble and sumptuous crimson leather, with 23 chandeliers, concierge-style host stand, waterfall and fireplace feature, and grand piano for regular live music, the restaurant’s design evokes Art Deco glam. Hovering over the massive, oval-shaped bar (with seating for more than 40) is Chandelier’s namesake, a 40-foot custom chandelier, bathing guests in the ideal light for a slightly less formal dinner or cocktails, while a wine-lined private dining room with towering ceilings and private entry is perfect for seated events of up to 36 guests.
