A Historic Alley Carriage House 

Renovated in 2011, this carriage house is home to the owners of the U Street vintage and antique shop Good Wood and it shows. The entrance through Blagden Alley opens to the main living space, adorned in vintage brick and patterned wallpaper.

An upstairs patio connects to the bedroom and features privacy curtains and ample room for patio furniture.
