A Wall-Bed and a Below-Grade Patio in the Middle of Logan

This Logan Circle studio has much more storage than meets the eye. The living area of the unit has a custom wall-bed unit, with built-in shelving flanking a Murphy bed; an additional set of drawers is built out of the opposite wall. A glass door and a nearly ceiling-height window let in natural light and provide access to a private patio. A full-sized, stacked washer/dryer in the hall sits next to a generous L-shaped pantry, and a spacious walk-in closet/dressing room has a built-in vanity and is lined with built-in drawers, shelves and racks. One side of the bookcase on the bed unit opens to provide access to a concealed, deep storage unit. Both the bathroom and the kitchen are finished with marble, and the latter also has a Mahogany butcher block above the wine fridge.
