Happy New Year, UrbanTurf readers! As we start publishing again following our annual hiatus, we bring you a couple of cool properties that hit the market while you were opening presents and ringing in 2011.
Four-Bedroom Renovation in Hillcrest

The southeast DC neighborhood of Hillcrest is a little bit of a hidden gem east of the river with a very attractive housing stock. This four-bedroom home on the area’s southern edge was extensively renovated earlier this year and in addition to two master bedrooms, a gourmet kitchen, and a built-in iPod stereo system, the property has a rear deck, a large rec room, and a spacious common area on the second level. The home also sits on a great lot that has sizable front and backyards. For the full listing, click here.

Four-Bedroom Row House Just South of Petworth Metro

Located just south of the Petworth Metro station on the northern edge of Columbia Heights, this four-bedroom semi-detached row house caught our eye for two reasons: 1) the living room and dining room are quite open and bright because of exposures on three sides and 2) three of the four bedrooms are quite spacious in a city where four bedroom-homes usually have two large bedrooms and the others are tiny. The home also has a finished basement with a full bath and a one-car garage with a private driveway. For the full listing, click here.
