An 80’s House With Solar Panels and Office Space

This unusual-looking home, featured in Best New Listings a couple weeks ago, has a few surprise features that set it even further apart from the crowd. The most notable are the solar panels. When the home generates more energy than it can use, it actually returns energy to the PEPCO grid. Adding to the intrigue of the listing is a professional office in the back of the house, with a studio, waiting room, reception hall and large office space. At least one buyer appeared to fit its profile; the home was off the market within a week.

• Address: 5320 Belt Road NW (map)
• Price: $879,000
• Bedrooms: Four
• Bathrooms: Three
• Year Built: 1980
• Days on Market: 5

Beaux Arts Condo in Kalorama

• Price: $399,000
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
