This Columbia Heights row house, built in 1922, has been transformed into a “contemporary” wonder in the six months since its last sale. Touches for this “paradise home” include missing air-vent registers, a first-floor closet-turned-bathroom that gives no room for leg-stretching when sitting on the crapper, and a second-floor bathroom whose door slams into the toilet every time it’s opened. From the back porch, check out the potential in-law suite—a rusted-out shack in the back yard—or better yet, look a few feet farther and enjoy your unobstructed view of a giant abandoned building.
