I’m very excited to announce that I will now be making regular contributions to the “Unique Spaces” section of the DC real estate blog, DC Urban Turf.

Previous posts have included a houses that had former lives as a restaurant, carriage house, or livery stable.

To illustrate how different the architecture is in the Arlingwood neighborhood, take a look at these other houses for sale on the same block (all are listed through Washington Fine Properties):
A log cabin built in 1921:
And a renovated farmhouse, which was previously owned by NBC Weatherman Willard Scott:
The listing information for the contemporary house is here.
The log cabin is listed right here.
The farmhouse can be found here.
