Looking Good Off U Street
This four-story townhouse just south of the U Street Corridor offers a sleek, cheeky interior. Dark blue walls and cabinetry throughout the house contrast well with the white wood finishes and there are lots of fun details, including tiles that spell out "You Look Good" in one of the showers and rainbow stairs leading to the basement.

UrbanTurf loves the sitting area on the upper level that includes a window seat overlooking Wallach Street, another fireplace with built-in shelving and a recessed nook that fits a couch. The primary suite takes up the entirety of the top floor with a bathroom with dual vanity sinks and a private roof deck.
