This antique side-by-side cabinet and desk is available for $600 in Reston. The poster says it’s made of tiger oak and has a dark walnut finish. On the left is a small, round curio cabinet with a glass door and five display shelves. On the right, there’s a drop-leaf desk with a drawer and two storage cabinets underneath. The seller says the piece is from the 1920s, and the glass door, beveled mirror, and hardware are all original.

Other good finds:
• Cherry china cabinet for $895
• Drop-leaf end tables for $200
• Blue and red chairs for $75
• Media storage cabinet with glass doors for $70

Thanks, Craig!

The main draw of this tenth-floor one-bedroom condo is the balcony—and its view of downtown Bethesda. Inside the 750-square-foot space, there are hardwood floors in the living room and what seems like a spacious kitchen—we count at least seven cabinets in the photo and there’s a small breakfast counter with space for stools. The bedroom has two large windows to provide plenty of light. Amenities include an in-unit washer and dryer, 24-hour concierge, pool, fitness center, and party room. The rent includes one space in an underground parking garage.

There's no Diary of a Fixer-Upper today, but good news! Heather Goss, who writes Open House's weekly Diary of a Fixer-Upper column, will host a chat tomorrow, Wednesday, June 25 about her renovation. Heather bought a crumbling rowhouse in Columbia Heights in the fall and has spent the last six months gutting and remodeling the home herself.

Submit your questions now and Heather will answer them on Wednesday from Noon to 1.

This couch/chaise combo and matching ottoman are available for $850 in Clarendon. The cushions are cream-colored microfiber, and the couch frame and ottoman are chocolate-brown leather with contrast stitching. The set screams upscale bachelor pad and looks like a comfy spot to curl up and watch a movie. The furniture is large—the couch is ten-feet wide and the chaise is seven-and-a-half feet long—so plan on bringing a few friends and a large truck for the move.

Other good finds:
• Cherry wood side table with display shelf for $150
• Queen Ann cherry coffee table for $25
• Mosaic bistro table and two chairs for $55

Thanks, Craig!
