Where: 209 3rd St., SE
How much: $1,949,900
When: Sunday, 1:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
Why: Four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, three fireplaces, two-car garage, and a partridge in a pear tree. Just kidding about that last one, but there is a magnolia tree in the rear courtyard. High ceilings and broad door- and window-casings are true to the 1890 period this row house was built. A back patio and two-car garage serve the busy modern family.
