For those seeking additional storage, this condominium offers a private storage closet on the building's lower level. The Wendell’s prime location at the convergence of Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, and Kalorama places you moments away from the Dupont Metro and an array of dining and recreational options along Connecticut Ave.
