There's a fierce World Cup game on right now, so let's have an equally fierce Real Estate Death Match. In our pre-Independence Day bout, the condo from Dupont Circle walloped its Hill East component (but certainly not to the degree that Germany shellacked Brazil). This week, we're expanding to two bedrooms and going to two different neighborhoods. This is Real Estate Death Match: Mt. Pleasant vs. Eckington Edition.
↑ Address: 1635 Irving Street NW #1
Price: $499,000
Square Feet: 1,100
Beds, Baths: 2/2
This Mt. Pleasant condo is one of three in this renovated townhouse, but there's still available parking for residents that don't get anything from walking the three blocks to the metro. The patio is enviable, the fireplace is in working order and as for more modern appliances, it has an in-unit washer/dryer and a dishwasher.
↑ Address: 329 Rhode Island Avenue NE #301
Price: $489,900
Square Feet: 1,178
Beds, Baths: 2/2
This Eckington competitor is in Mint Condominiums, and as such it has building amenities like a fitness room, a storage unit and a roof deck that its competitor does not. That said, the condo has its own balcony, too. It's also a slightly larger space with a bit of a price edge.
