$1.8 Million Real Estate in Cleveland Park

Here’s a look at 3111 Macomb St NW, on the market for $1.83 million. This property was just sold in December 2009 for $1.77 million. The colonial is massive, over 4,100 square feet and seven bedrooms … it also includes 3.5 baths.

I love the entryway and the hardwood floors throughout.

One of three screened porches

More of the hardwood floors and a nice fireplace

Great curb appeal

Check out the home’s virtual tour.  It may need some upgrading, but has good bones and sits on an amazing, conveniently located lot.

Oldest House in DC for Sale in Cleveland Park

The Rosedale Farmhouse is now for sale in Cleveland Park. You’ve likely noticed this Newark St. property many times during your travels through Cleveland Park. As many of you know, the grounds are public as part of the Rosedale Conservatory.

This estate has a number of amazing features and status as a National Historic Landmark. I love the idea of doing laps in this amazing pool with the stunning view of the National Cathedral.

I also think that the owners did an amazing job balancing 18th century features and beautiful renovations.  You are seeing 1 of 10 fireplaces below.

The kitchen is another favorite…

The current listing price is a mere $5.3 million.  Time to get your down payment together?

Read here for more on the history of the Rosedale Farmhouse.

$1.8 Million Real Estate in Cleveland Park

Right around the corner from the Cleveland Park metro

If you want to be impressed by a real estate investment, this house is a good example. In 1999, it sold for a mere $515,000 and is now listed for $1.8 million. This 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom farm house style home is a stone’s throw from the Cleveland Park metro at 2821 Ordway St NW. Boasting high ceilings, nearly throughout, the house has a very spacious feel. It’s only been on the market for 7 days and given the location, it may not be on for long. The agent will hold an open house this Sunday from 1:30-4:00 PM for those who are interested in checking out this property.

Some of our favorite features include…

A great outdoor patio area

The light wood does not hit our tastes, but this is still an amazing kitchen

Nice hardwood floors and entry

Check out this listing on Redfin.

$2.9 Million Real Estate in Cleveland Park

The home at 3539 Williamsburg Lane is a real gem.  Nestled off Williamsburg Lane down Porter St. from Cleveland Park, it mixes city and country with its unique Rock Creek backdrop.

What does $3 million get you these days in DC? 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 5,173 square feet, 6 fireplaces, and a city tax bill of over $20,000.  The property is right at the end of Williamsburg Lane so it is a decent hike (not to mention uphill) into the heart of Cleveland Park (Refin technically places this listing in Forest Hills).

We’ve shared some pictures below, but you can also check out the virtual house tour.

The beautiful but rather long shaped kitchen

A great look at the lot

$3 million can be cozy in this nice sitting room
