This nearly 1,000 square-foot Southwest unit sits a couple of blocks from the Wharf and has views spanning the city. An entry hall with a double closet leads directly into the living room, which sits under a tall cove ceiling with a wall of windows framing sliding glass doors. The doors open out to a terrace with honeycomb-tiled flooring, where one can see the Washington Monument.

The bedroom has a deep walk-in closet with built-ins, a reading nook, and two sets of sliding glass doors out to juliet balconies. The unit retains its original parquet hardwood floors, and the purchase also comes with a garage parking spot. The building includes a shared laundry room, a pool, a sauna, and a gym.
