Two-Bedroom with Built-Ins, Nooks and Ladders

Over on the other side of Adams Morgan, this bi-level condo unit is one of a few in an otherwise unassuming Victorian-esque bungalow.

Upstairs, the master bedroom sits under a multi-angled pitched ceiling and the second bedroom has a few angled inset built-ins and a hatch with a drop-down ladder that leads up to a private roof deck. Each bedroom also has an en-suite bath and the unit also includes an off-street parking space.
