About this home

This pristine bay-front Victorian, circa 1890, showcases exceptional masonry craftsmanship and the timeless architectural elegance of Washington's late 19th-century homes. Lovingly reimagined over the years, it seamlessly blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates, including custom millwork and built-ins, a second-floor bedroom expansion, renovated kitchen and baths, and a beautifully finished lower-level apartment with certificate of occupancy. Designed for comfortable living and effortless entertaining, the open-concept granite kitchen features a center island and adjoining breakfast and sitting area. The elegant living room offers a gas fireplace, a wall of custom built-in shelving, and abundant storage. Throughout the home are custom transom windows, skylights, vaulted ceilings, a main-level powder room, and newly refinished hardwood floors.
The main level opens to a covered porch with a retractable awning overlooking a beautiful hardscape terrace and garden. This versatile outdoor space also serves as secure off-street parking, complete with an automatic roll-up door and privacy fencing.
A charming central staircase with a custom banister leads to the upper level, where the spacious primary suite includes a sitting area or home office, generous closet space, and exquisite custom woodwork. A second oversized bedroom features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and additional storage. The thoughtfully designed hall bath includes a skylight, tub/shower, and vanity framed by custom mirrors.
The fully above-grade lower level has been beautifully renovated into a self-contained apartment featuring an open living and dining area, kitchen with breakfast bar, spacious bedroom, full bath, laundry, and ample storage.
