What $285K Buys You: Roof Access in Columbia Heights: Figure 1

In this week’s installment of What X Buys You, we look in the $285K range and find a one-bedroom condo in Columbia Heights that has access to the most sought-after amenity in the city next to a parking space: a roof deck. The unit was renovated in 2004 with a new kitchen, bamboo floors and in-unit washer/dryer. At 550 square feet, it is not very large, but the building is pet-friendly, has low monthly condo fees and is about a five-minute walk from the Columbia Heights Metro. While not private, the deck on the roof of the building may be what separates this unit from others in the neighborhood as it serves as a great place to invite friends when your condo gets too cramped. More details and photos below.
