The Best Open Houses in the D.C. Area

 

With Labor Day coming up, the pickings for open houses this weekend are pretty slim. However, we recommend checking out a “green” two-bedroom condo in Columbia Heights and an enormous seven-bedroom Victorian in Takoma Park, D.C.

Green Two-Bedroom Condo in Columbia Heights

1362 Otis Place N.W., #1 (see map here)

 

• Price: $519,000
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: 1.5
• Square Footage: 1,600
• Price per SF: $324
• Year Built: 1910

 

This 1,600 square-foot two-bedroom condo in Columbia Heights has been completely renovated to adhere to green and LEED standards. The kitchen is made of mostly bamboo and recycled glass and all the over-sized windows are energy efficient. The living area and kitchen take up the majority of the main level and both bedrooms are on the lower level. Just a few blocks from the Columbia Heights Metro on the Green Line, this home also has a parking space in back. The open house is Sunday, September 6 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. For the full listing, click here.

Huge Seven-Bedroom Victorian in Takoma Park, D.C.

708 Highland Ave. N.W. (see map here)

 

• Price: $799,900
• Bedrooms: Seven
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Year Built: 1895

 

Not many buyers are in the market for a seven-bedroom home, but if you are, this is a fairly good deal. This seven-bedroom “grande dame” in Takoma Park, D.C. has a number of features of an old country house: wraparound porch, huge yard, and gleaming hardwood floors. While the bathrooms were recently redone, the kitchen needs some work as do a few of the rooms. However, if you are in the market for a home this big, $799,000 is a good price if all you need are a few upgrades. The open house is Sunday, Sept. 6 from 1 to 4 p.m. For the full listing, click here.
