One-Bedroom in a Dupont Circle Basement

This one-bedroom appears to be located on the lower level of a Georgian-style row house on 19th and Swann Streets, just north of Dupont Circle. At 1,100 square-feet, the owners probably aren’t exaggerating when they call this an exceptionally large one bedroom, but like most basement apartments, this one needs a good deal of lighting to brighten it up. The unit has an updated kitchen, a redone bathroom, a fireplace and washer/dryer. Pets are not allowed, however, so dog and cat owners need not apply.

• Full Listing: 19th Street and Swann Street NW (map)
• Rent: $2,500 a month
• Bedrooms: One
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 1,100

Woodley Park Two-Bedroom With Bay Windows and a Clawfoot Tub

Our next option is another apartment in a row house, though it’s not on the lower level. This Woodley Park two-bedroom has big windows, a newly remodeled kitchen and bathroom and some charming details like a clawfoot tub, dark wood trim and a set of bay windows. The owners are looking for someone “responsible and professional” to rent the unit, which is two blocks from the Metro and around the corner from the Zoo. The monthly rent includes utilities.
