For those who desire bird nest views, only a penthouse will suffice. Fortunately, there are plenty of choices throughout parts of the Washington Metro area, especially in upscale urban neighborhoods where cityscapes are plentiful. Usually described as a residence on an upper floor of a tall building, these desirable dwellings have come to define a certain exclusive lifestyle. Naturally, the sky-high abodes typically come with some sticker shock. Then again, that’s the price of business when you really, truly crave a life at the top.
