More About the Rhapsody, Washington, DC
As modern and angular as the Rhapsody appears from the street, the true shape of the structure is revealed from above. It looks much like a reverse C with five distinct sides. Inside the open C is a huge courtyard area. The condos themselves are designed with a sense of fun whimsy, including high ceilings, interior pillars, hanging lamps, intriguing room shapes, and huge windows. Some units have big window bays facing the street, while others look out over the building s interior courtyard. Richly hued hardwood floors and open gourmet kitchens add to the allure, the latter with stone counters, maple cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Some of the condos have bonus dens that can serve equally as well as work-from-home spaces or extra bedrooms. In other words, two bedrooms can sometimes be considered as three. Duplex penthouses with spiral stairs also have large private terraces, and there are also some loft-style duplexes on lower floors.
Residents at the Rhapsody enjoy a common roof deck with superb views, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a package room, and on-site management.
