THE REAL ESTATE SENSATION OF THE SEASON

FOUR (4) MORE SOLD THIS MORNING, MAKING A TOTAL OF 8 SOLD.
The most beautiful six-room houses ever sold anywhere at sorb prices.
Houses that have every feature found In homes at three times the price.
Dwelling places that are perfect In construction. complete In appointments, artistic in design and located in a neighbor
hood already established and with no uncertainty as to the future.

A NEW DEPARTURE.
Heretofore the criticism made, and justly, of the average six-room homsc has been the absence of artistic taste displayed.
Of small houses fur sale there are many; of those combining convenience, comfort and beauty there has been a real lack.
The idea of the average builder of the ordinary, moderate-sized bouse has been that of a place to live in, with little regard
for the artistic aud esthetic features, lu these new houses.
Cor. 7th St., Rock Creek Church Road and Ouincy St. N.W.,
the builder has achieved a real triumph in a house having every possible up-to-date feature and as much of real architectural
beauty as has> ever been >eeu in any city home. The picture herewith presented gives a mere suggestion of the attractive
ness of these houses and of the neighborhood of which they form a part.
TMK CONSTRUCTION is absolutely of the best. They were erected by one of the most careful and conscientious bnildcrt*
of home*, a man who has devoted years of thought and labor to the bringing out of a perfect house. Kvery material that can
make for strength has been incorporated- for instance, steel beams, up to the present time found only in larger houses, are us-d
throughout. The brickwork is second to none; the lumber, well seasoned and especially selected; the plumbing perfect to the
minutest detail, and the decorations the equal of those in any house at any price. t
The bouses have six rooms, large bathrooms, cabinet mantels of unique design, parquet flooring, guaranteed heating plnnt
and ELECTRIC LJGHT as well as gas. THESE BEING THE ONLY LOW-PRICED HOUSES EVER PRODUCED IN WASH
INGTON HAVING ELECTRIC LIGHT.
THESE HOUSES ARE 20 FEET WIDE, have deep lots, most attractive frouts of Pebble-dash and Flemish bond brick, with
covered front and rear porches. and bay windows front and back. *
The parlors, dining rooms and sleeping chambers are all of good size, the halls are wide. The kitchens have been planned
with the fullest consideration for easy housekeeping, every ]K>ssiblc accessory for lightening labor having been installed.
THE LOCATION is an established one, there being no element of chance in the establishment of a home there. They are
surrounded by property of high character. The streets arc lined with full-grown shade trees. They are convenient to a good
car line, and have a charming outlook, .Including the park-like grounds of the Soldiers* Ilmue.
Owing to the very low figure at which the builder acquired the ground and the large number of bouses included in this
operation, we are able to offer them at the unheard-of prices of $3.8.V) and S.'!.t>75 and on terms' of $300 cash and monthly
payments of $31.50 and $32.30. respectively. INCLUDING AIjL INTEREST. They will easily rent for $30.50.
