Each of the units are two-levels with two-bedrooms and two-baths on a separate level from the main living area. Fantastic natural light floods through the expansive windows highlighting the modern finishes and recent updates. The upper unit has multiple skylights in the primary bedroom and soaring ceilings. The lower unit benefits from a private patio perfect for summer evenings.

The unbeatable location puts you at the intersection of Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and the U Street Corridor on one of DC's most coveted tree-lined streets.
