An Eclectic Two-Bedroom off Rhode Island Avenue

The listing has a small balcony, a good-sized master bedroom and an open-concept layout with a bar-style serving area in the kitchen. The street is a busy one, but it’s more or less across the street from Boundary Stone and Red Hen.

A Colonial-Style Rowhouse in the Heart of the Hill

This little rowhouse, built in 1900, sits between two much-larger neighbors on the western edge of Capitol Hill. Inside the home is traditionally segmented: You walk into a living room area with a fireplace and built-ins, then to a dining room and finally to a kitchen in the back of the house. The kitchen has a pull-up bar with seating for two and leads out onto a spacious back patio. Upstairs there’s a master bedroom with a fireplace and a second bedroom with exposed beams and a skylight.
