Price Point: Capital Hill vs. Logan Circle

Capitol Hill Rowhouse: $1,295,000
128 D St. SE
The purchaser of this rowhouse might do well to rent the basement and above-garage carriage house apartments for extra cash to rid the house of some stylistic trappings from past decades (such as outdated bathroom wallpaper and bright-red staircase carpeting). Located in the shadow of the Library of Congress and a block from the Cannon House Office Building, the 2,169-square-foot house has two bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, plus a den or bedroom space that fills the third floor. A red-brick patio connects the house to the garage, and the carriage house, which contains one bedroom and one bathroom. (Listed through Green DC Realty)

Logan Circle Condo: $1,299,900
1444 Church St. NW #705
Formerly an auto showroom, this penthouse loft has floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed ductwork and high concrete ceilings. Garage-like industrial stairs lead to a second-floor den that opens onto a panoramic terrace overlooking the area’s abundance of other panoramic terraces. The more-than 1,900-square-foot property has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, two parking spaces and a condo fee of $869.72 per month. Most rooms are painted a deep sky blue, complementing the home’s airy atmosphere. The apartment also includes custom light fixtures, black onyx kitchen counters, maple hardwood floors and custom cabinetry. (Listed through Sotheby’s)
