About this home

If you are frustrated by the skyrocketing home prices in the city, I have a secret to share with you. Just a short, easy drive away in the prestigious college town of Mount Vernon, there is a property that defies the laws of real estate. Located at 313 5th Avenue NW, this is a genuine historic masterpiece built in 1867—two years after the Civil War ended—yet it offers a modern living experience that most new construction cannot match. The moment you step inside, you are transported. You are greeted by a breathtaking foyer featuring a "Gone With the Wind" staircase and soaring 9-foot ceilings that create an immediate sense of grandeur. But here is the "anomaly" that makes this house so special: usually, when you buy a home this old, you sacrifice storage and convenience. Not here. This home features a shocking 11 closets—a feature almost unheard of in the 19th century—giving you more storage than many homes built today. The main level is a masterclass in blending the old with the new.
