About This Property

Be the first to live in this totally renovated house in Old Town's desirable Southeast quadrant.  Over 2000 square feet of living space including an additional main level room that can function as a potential third bedroom, family room, or home office.  Modern elements blend effortlessly with historic Federal style architecture reflecting quality design and construction details of this move-in ready home.

Offering exposure on three sides, sunlight beams within throughout the day.  Custom millwork, two original fireplace mantels, original entry vestibule doors and hardware, refinished heart of pine floors and high ceilings greet you as you enter.  The elegant living room / parlor features a gas fireplace, original millwork baseboards, and the homes original pocket doors and hardware.  A charming main level powder room is dressed with Rifle Paper Company Wallpaper, warm brass fixtures, and elegant New Ravenna hand designed oval mosaic marble tile floors.  Enter the stunning kitchen from the separate, yet open formal dining room. The kitchen features Danby marble countertops and backsplash.  Danby marble is mined in Vermont from the oldest working quarry in the United States. Thermador appliances include an 84" built in refrigerator, dual fuel range, and a pull down style microwave wall oven.  A patented, seamless drain is just one unique feature of the 28-inch workstation ledge sink with several custom accessories.  Under cabinet lighting and Simon Pearce handcrafted glass pendants further reflect the elegance of the space adorned with inset door custom cabinetry crafted from maple wood, a 9-foot island complete with extra storage, and even more storage in a separate 36-inch wide pantry.  Continuing on the main level is  the additional room equipped with a built in desk area (pull out computer drawer and space for printer below), two 48-inch built in closets with separate overhead storage all inset design with Restoration Hardware pulls and knobs. This space can function as a main level bedroom, family room, or home office. The large back flagstone and brick patio is accessible from the back room or the kitchen via a side brick walkway, which spans the length of the home.

Journey upstairs to the spacious bedrooms each with an en-suite bathroom.  Both en-suites feature custom low iron Starphire ultra clear shower glass doors, carrara marble top vanities, and Toto (bidet compatible) toilets. The primary bath features Kalista's Central Park West Collection fixtures, New Ravenna marble tile floors, and a gorgeous custom fabricated marble stone step-up to a separate shower / free standing tub area featuring a custom millwork cased opening inspired by the homes original millwork design.  The primary bedroom has an outdoor patio to enjoy morning coffee. The front bedroom has a third original fireplace mantel, pocket window shutters, as well as a separate beautiful arched entry alcove perfect for an extra sitting area or even a charming nursery.  

A long hallway creates privacy between the bedrooms, offers more built in storage and a separate laundry closet featuring LG Ultra Large Capacity washer and dryer units with a tile floor and tile wainscot walls.  The home renovation included new plumbing, installation of a new electrical panel, and insulation added between the bathrooms including the adjacent laundry room walls.  

The home features several historical interior doors with porcelain knobs and transoms that were maintained or carefully repurposed during the renovation.  Emtex porcelain doorknobs, doorstops, and hardware are on all other interior doors in keeping with the period of the home.

And location ... situated near the Wilkes Street historic tunnel, walk a block east to Windmill Hill Park and one more to the Potomac River and Mount Vernon trail where one can stroll, enjoy a picnic or launch a kayak.  Head three blocks north and enjoy all that Old Town has to offer.
