“Just needs a little TLC”
This ubiquitous phrase is a frequently trending topic in the world of MLS remarks. Is TLC the newest and greatest home feature? Probably not, but every once in awhile you may also find a “diamond in the rough,” “excellent bones” or “character” as well — the trifecta of DC fixer uppers!
Although these homes haven’t reached unicorn status, if you have a little extra TLC to give, here are 5 homes that could use it!
This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom home features a “breathtaking view,” along with a large lot and long private driveway. With enough textured ceiling to try all of the Pinterest hacks you can find, the only thing missing — “a little TLC and your personal touch.”
Located in Brentwood, this home presents a chance to live in “Little Rome.” Slightly mysterious with its limited internal photos, we’ll trust the remarks that, along with its convenient location, and loads of character this one “just needs TLC.”
This “lovely 4 sided brick rambler” has features that include vintage kitchen cabinets (that may be coming back into style at some point), a party-ready basement, rec room with a built-in bar, hardwood floors, and 2 fireplaces! As an added bonus, this one also comes with “lots of love to give.” As you may have guessed it “just needs some TLC and vision.”
A mix of old and new in Riggs park featuring original hardwood flooring, classic aluminium awnings and an updated kitchen and bathrooms. No need to worry about street sweeping tickets with this one, it has a brick garage out back for off street parking. Lots of potential, and like the others on our list “needs TLC.”
In the “almost but not quite $1m” category on our list, this “vintage” Columbia Heights rowhome proves that price range and TLC are not mutually exclusive. The gorgeous original wood trim and doors are in great condition and “with your vision and TLC this home will be a real gem.”

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
