Though the median owner-occupied home value of an M Streets – Vickery Place residence comes out to a very specific $368,998, the tree-lined neighborhood’s growing popularity has attracted an influx of young families and new (but architecturally compatible) construction. So though that bright blue Craftsman might pass for a 20s-era home, its freshly made features prevent it from sporting the average price tag.
5334 Manett Street
Price: $1,200,000
Numbers: 4 beds | 3.1 baths | 3,414 square feet
Highlights: The most expensive home in this roundup is by far the most modern, with its wall of energy efficient windows and minimalistic stairs. Another distinction: a state-of-the-art media room and a very inviting backyard pool and hot tub.
5351 Miller Avenue
Price: $994,500
Numbers: 4 beds | 3.1 baths | 4,514 square feet
Highlights: Though construction was completed in 2015, this eye-catching Craftsman blends in beautifully with the area’s charming architecture, with soft-close drawers and smart-home technology readiness that is absolutely of the moment.
5647 Richard Avenue
Price: $979,000
Numbers: 4 beds | 3.1 baths | 3,873 square feet
Highlights: There are a lot of high points in this bright, new build. We could focus on the white marble-filled kitchen, or the luxurious master bathroom, but today, we’re feeling the upstairs wet bar the size of most Uptown apartment kitchens.
