A One-Bedroom in Dupont with a Trick Bookcase

There’s more than first meets the eye in this one-bedroom on the lower level of a Dupont Circle building. Though the unit is decidedly retro, with old wood trim and detailing just about everywhere, the kitchen and bathroom have been lightly updated. The coolest feature of the home, however, is a trick bookcase that leads into the small bedroom, where a built-in bed offers storage.

• Price: $259,000
• HOA Fee: $366/month

The building has a 24-hour desk and there is extra storage on the same level as this unit.
