Caroline Berens had been perfectly happy living alone for a couple of years in Washington, when her younger sister, Emma, announced that she was planning to move to the city.
So Ms. Berens didn’t immediately extend an invitation to be roommates in her one-bedroom rental in Dupont Circle.
“I’ve always been frugal and have saved money to buy a home since I started babysitting at 12,” Caroline Berens said.

“Plus,” she said, “I was determined to avoid living in a basement.”Both sisters are tall, so Caroline wanted high ceilings.
