301 East Capitol, NE
I have some very well-worn trails starting at my front door. Among them are the paths to Lincoln park with the dog, down East Capitol for a nice run, and to Harris Teeter because my husband is addicted to a granola only they carry. Along the way, there are a couple of places I frequently see and always wonder what they’re like on the inside. Lucky for me, two of them popped up on the list of open houses this week.
301 East Capitol, NE, #D. Listed for $699,000.
First is a building on East Capitol that always strikes me as a peaceful setting. The 2/2/1 condo that just went on the market seems to confirm that image. It has a fireplace, an updated kitchen and the whole place has a clean modern feel with plenty of natural light.

The second is a place at Jenkins Row. Having gone a couple of times a month since the Harris Teeter opened, I think I’ve been brainwashed by the sign in the garage extolling the virtues of living above a sushi chef and aisles of wine and beer (maybe I added that last virtue on my own). This 1/1 has a convenient layout that opens the kitchen up to the living area enough so that guests can grab something off the counter, but not so much that you can’t hide a little messiness. There’s also a great view of a courtyard I didn’t even know was there.

There are plenty of open houses this weekend, so maybe you’ll have a chance to satisfy your own curiosity. Thanks to Phil and Jeanne for sending us the link!
