A Midcentury Home Goes Well Well Above Asking

This midcentury modern in Kent flew off the market in just five days, despite needing work — the listing initially suggested this property may be a teardown project. The home, which has five bedrooms and a unique artist studio on a densely forested lot, has a lot of potential and when we wrote about it a few months ago, we noted that we would opt to renovate it, rather than tear it down. The house that UrbanTurf dubbed Don Draper’s DC digs fetched $55,000 over its asking price.

UrbanTurf loved the open-concept main floor in this bright Brookland bungalow, which went under contract in just under a week for $60,500 over the listing price. The home has both three bedrooms and three bathrooms, meaning nobody has to share. Outside is a big backyard with three-car parking and a two-level deck, while the finished basement gets a bedroom and a separate bath.

• List Price: $649,500
• Final Price: $710,000
