2008 Q STREET NW
About This Property
This iconic bayfront Victorian is more than just a home, it's a cornerstone of Washington, DC's rich cultural past.
Once the residence of Caresse Crosby, famed inventor of the modern brassiere and influential literary publisher. Crosby helped launch the careers of literary giants such as Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, and D.H. Lawrence. During her time here, Crosby also opened The Connoisseur's Corner, showcasing works by avant-garde artists like Constantin Brancusi, Max Ernst, and Pietro Lazzari, transforming the property into a vibrant creative hub.
Even earlier, from the 1920s through the 1940s, the home housed the Lovette School of Music, founded by Eva Whitford Lovette, adding another layer to its storied artistic legacy.
Now, it's your turn to write the next chapter.
This charming three-bedroom, two-bath Victorian offers soaring ceilings, original heart-pine floors, exposed brick walls, and a cozy rear courtyard, all waiting for your personal touch. Whether you're a preservation enthusiast, artist, or visionary homeowner, the potential here is extraordinary.
Perfectly positioned just half a block from the Dupont Circle Metro, and mere steps from the city's best shopping, dining, and cultural landmarks, including The Phillips Collection, this home offers the ideal blend of historic charm and urban convenience.
Bring your architect, your imagination, and your passion for history to make 2008 Q Street NW your own.
