Smartly Concealed Storage and Skylights

Around the corner from Book Hill Park, this quaint two-bedroom rowhouse smartly arranges less than 1,000 square feet across two levels. The house enters into the living room, where a protruding gas fireplace creates a nook with built-ins by the window and an office nook on the other side. A separate dining area is across from the stairs, which has a small closet beneath. A pass-through window adds access to the kitchen, which has ample counter space despite its petite size and storage steps leading up to the backyard and brick patio. Both bedrooms off the skylit landing also have their own skylights, although the full bath is only accessible through the second bedroom.
