Real Estate Fresh Finds

Real Estate Fresh Finds is a weekly selection of newly-listed properties in the District, brought to you by Real Living At Home.

The weather in the district has been just as up and down as the housing inventory the past few weeks. There’s close to 300 new listings to hit the market within the past week, meaning we’re back on the upswing and the 80 degree weekend weather seems to agree. Here’s some of our suggested (and hot) Fresh Finds below:

• At a soaring $11.2mil, your Most Expensive Home of the Week is this monstrous French Normandy style and 43,000+ sq. ft. land that includes 2 “adjacent, buildable lots,” but that price doesn’t even begin to cover the cost of the proposed mansion renderings.
• Two bedroom/2 bathroom “Recently renovated and updated, rowhouse-style living with the price and convenience of a condo” just 2 blocks from U Street Metro.
• Petworth condo with 2 beds and 1 bath for only $230k is your REO/Bank-Owned Property of the Week.
• The Worst Photos of the Week go to this $2.3mil Ledroit Park listing that only has 4 photos — all of them blurry exterior shots — 1 of which is a black and white that I assume was taken in 1880 when it was first built.
• A 1 bedroom “tastefully updated condo” less than a block away from Potomac Avenue Metro Station.

With almost 100 less listings than last week, this week’s new listing count is only 162. The demand for homes is there, so if you’re in the market for a new home, you better get out there and start looking before there’s none left. Check out some of our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• The Most Expensive Home of the Week is a 3,400 square foot row home in Georgetown with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms — including the most bizarre half bathroom we’ve seen lately.
• A one bedroom Cleveland Park penthouse condo unit just a block away from the Metro and commercial corridor.
• Our newest category of Most Interesting Listing of the Week is a historic embassy building that was converted to condos rather than getting much embassy use.
• Another brand-new townhouse condo building along Georgia Avenue in Petworth includes an almost cathedral ceiling height master bathroom walk-in shower.

Your Foreclosure of the Week is a 3 bedroom single-family home in Deanwood that appears a new construction will be more successful than any amount of renovation.

Over 250 new listings have hit the market in the past week. We chose 5 of our favorites; check out our suggestion below:

• A $4.2mil double-unit condo at the “best view in DC” Watergate with only 2 legal bedrooms is your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• An entirely renovated 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom brick end unit in Deanwood.
• Remodeled 4 bedroom row home in Petworth, including a fully finished basement with its own kitchen, bathroom and walkout.
• This Logan Circle 2 bedroom condo has been “meticulously cared for and manicured.”
• With a total of six blurry and/or dark photos, this unit at the Cityline at Tenley building earns it the Worst Photos of the Week.

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stops us from delivering you our Fresh Finds in the district this week. Check out our suggestions below:

• Your Most Expensive Home of the Week is a 7 bedroom/8.5 bathroom villa for $7.25mil and includes a wine cellar, exercise pavillion and lower level cabana room.
• A remodeled and updated 2 bedroom unit in The Rockingham at Logan Circle.
• The REO/Bank Owned Property of the Week goes to this Fort Lincoln townhouse for under $500k and it’s not in an unlivable condition.
• Four bedroom, 3.5 bathroom Petworth row home with over 2,100 finished square feet
• A combination Cheapest Home of the Week and Worst Photos of the Week goes to this $180k Mount Vernon Square studio that’s rough enough for them to advertise a contractor proposal and construction loan financing.

It’s Wednesday, which means two things: 1) The workweek is now more than half over and 2) It’s your weekly dose of Fresh Finds new to the market in DC, so check out our suggestions below:

• Technically, this is the 2nd most Expensive Home of the Week (since the first is apparently some secret sale) and includes addresses 2023, 2025 & 2027 Benning Road NE for a package deal of $5mil.
• A 4 bedroom “Classic Mid-Century Modern, just steps from Rock Creek Park” in the Hawthorne neighborhood.
• One of the main advertised selling points of this $800k Petworth “chic urban oasis” row home is the leather cabinet pulls in the kitchen.
• The REO/Bank Owned Property of the Week is a single-family detached in Woodbridge.
• Your Least Expensive Home of the Week is a studio in Southwest Waterfront that will likely be rented as an AirBnb the second the sale closes.

We’ve heard some agents say there’s a lack of inventory right now on the market, but just within the past seven days, there’s been 240+ homes to hit the market just in DC alone. So check out some of our suggested Fresh Finds below:

• You know when it lists a “full floor ballroom” or “2 bedroom staff apartment” as features, this one is clearly going to be your Most Expensive Home of the Week at $8.15mil.
• Not only does this epic Victorian row home have 6 bedrooms, spanning across 4 levels and 2,700+ square feet, but it also has an in-home art show occurring this Saturday, March 10th, from 3-7PM.
• The listing is sold in ‘As Is’ condition for this “Great Opportunity to Continue and Complete Renovation on Traditional Petworth Row,” even though the 2 photos show very little renovation occurred in the first place.
• A Mount Pleasant 2 bedroom condo that’s been updated and refreshed throughout the entire home.
• It’s a small 1 bedroom condo, but it also appears in great condition and has everything you could possibly need (except decently sized storage space) for the REO/Bank Owned Property of the Week.

February is already over, meaning less than a month until the official start of the spring season. If you haven’t already started looking at homes, you better check out some of these Fresh Finds before someone else does:

• It appears this manor near Embassy Row is having some trouble selling since it’s been listed 3 times over the past year, which is now down to the low, low price of $5.995mil for your Most Expensive Home of the Week.
• Two units in the same Columbia Heights rowhouse each with 2 levels, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms — with unit #PH-B featuring a slightly larger floor plan than unit #A.
• I guess this is Petworth rowhouse is technically a 4-bedroom, but that ‘office’ likely won’t sleep anything other than a newborn.
• This Mount Pleasant condo is so fresh that it’s only been on the market for a couple of hours at the time of posting.
• Out of 3 new foreclosures, this is the only one that has photos, making this Benning Ridge end-unit the Foreclosure of the Week.

• An incredible detached single-family home renovation in Brookland includes 5 bedrooms, 4 levels, full lower level inlaw suite and the perfect rear deck for summertime.
• This 1-bedroom condo in Petworth might be a good deal, but it’s one you’ll have to see in person since this is also the Worst (and blurriest) Photos of the Week.
• Wesley Heights 2-bedroom/2.5 bathroom end-unit townhouse in “one of the most desirable neighborhoods in DC.”
• Your REO Property of the Week is a surprisingly new-looking 3-bedroom row house in Pleasant Plains.

It appears to be the kind of week where it’s a heavy townhouse listing market, with new homes hitting the market all over the DMV. As the spring market nears, they will only become more coveted, so if you are trying to get a head start, check out some of the newest Fresh Finds below:

• The Most Expensive Home of the Week is a $2.975mil (2 bedroom) penthouse near Metro Center that looks like it’s straight out of an older, richer cousin of an Ikea catalog.
• A Harrison Square townhouse that’s been renovated and updated to the extent it almost looks like it’s a brand new home.
• “Another spectacular renovation by H3 in hot Petworth!”
• The ever-elusive and rare, detached single-family home with both a fenced-in front and backyard, all within District lines in the Hawthorne neighborhood.
• This 2-bedroom in Deanwood is your Foreclosure of the Week and also your Worst Photos of the Week, since they apparently don’t have a camera from this decade.
