4707 Connecticut Ave NW APT 313, Washington, DC 20008

Sitting at the table, reading the paper at 4707 Connecticut Ave., I am drenched in sunlight and am cozy. That must be the new windows the condominium association just installed. I~ll be just as warm when I walk through the french doors into sunroom, off of the generous living room. The newly refinished hardwood floors reflect the custom lighting and bookshelves. It~s a good thing there are built in-shelves in the bedroom as well. Perfect for all of my books. I~ll use the newly installed nest to lower the heat, all this sunlight. When architect, Joseph H. Abel designed this mix of Tudor and Gothic Revival building, I wonder if he knew how it would hold it~s charm for almost 100 years. I~m sure he expected us to upgrade the bathroom and still keep a vintage style. Walking into the lobby where there is a friendly face to greet you 7 days a week, I~m sure he would still be proud of this building. Less than a mile from 2 metros!
