Two-Bedroom Penthouse in Mount Vernon Square

The top-floor unit in a rowhouse that was converted into four condos in 2009, this two-bedroom has the makings of a listing that will move fast.

If there is a downside to this penthouse unit it is that there is just one bathroom.

• Price: $574,900
• Bedrooms: Two
• Bathrooms: One
• Square Footage: 1,035
• HOA Fees: $340/month
