This Week's Find is one of the more interesting homes in DC's Foxhall neighborhood. 

Designed by current owner Dr. Djahanguir Darvish, The Narrow Home lives up to its name: it rises three stories and is just 18 feet wide. The home was constructed in 1985 around a small red house at the address, the remnants of which can be seen in the red walls of the home. 

The three-bedroom listing, which just hit the market, is filled with interesting curves and angles given its unique design and layout. One of UrbanTurf's favorite areas is the back room that has floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides and lives like a patio.
