A Best New Listing a Block Away

If you're getting deja vu from this listing, it may be because last week's Best New Listings featured a house just one block away. This Capitol Hill rowhouse is a bit larger and has a similarly laid-out interior with dichromatic stylings from the exterior onward. The bright home has a square bay at the front and an exposed brick wall that runs the length of the hallway from the entrance up to the second-floor landing. The basement also utilizes the bay window and includes a rec room with wet bar and a separate bedroom and bath. One egress from the basement leads to a flight of steps in a brick-lined corridor walking up to the backyard and patio.

• Full Listing: 615 6th Street NE (map)
• Price: $1.2 million
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: 3.5
• Square Feet: 1,614

A Petite Rowhouse Near Petworth

Tucked between two main corridors on the Northeast-Northwest border, this petite rowhouse still enjoys the peace provided by its lack of rear neighbors. The house has traditional charms, from the mini-porch to the wood-framed French doors that open into the living room, just to the left upon entry. The kitchen and dining area share space, separated by a center island with cabinets on the sides. The three bedrooms share a full bath upstairs, while the basement also has a full bath and bonus storage room. The deep, fenced-in backyard has a patio area and abuts a line of mature trees courtesy of the adjacent Rock Creek Cemetery.

• Bedrooms: Three
• Bathrooms: 2.5

This renovated Spring Valley colonial is hitting the market for the first time in over 35 years.

The basement has a rec room, a bed and bath and a mudroom with built-in shelving, and there is a sprawling backyard with mature trees and a paved patio area.

Fallingwater-Inspired in Cleveland Park

Finally, this mid-century house in Cleveland Park is impressive in its own right, with a much more dynamic style than is evident from the street. The kitchen overlooks the family room, where an upward-slanting ceiling leads to a set of clerestory windows. An adjacent breakfast area takes advantage of a circular bumpout with sets of south-facing windows all along and access to the large deck, which is also accessible from the formal dining room. The living room has a wood-paneled accent wall, a fireplace, a built-in loveseat bay and floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides. The nearly one-acre sideyard is framed with trees and also has a patio and pool. 

• Full Listing: 3122 Newark Street NW (map)
• Price: $3,995,000
• Bedrooms: Five
• Bathrooms: 4.5
