This shelving-filled Friendship Heights four-bedroom sold for just shy of six figures above listing price recently.

The house also has generous outdoor space, including a spacious rear brick patio and an angular wrap-around porch that leads to an octagonal screened-in porch which creates a balcony for the owner's bedroom above.
