Description

At the convenient center of Historic Capitol Hill, this commanding corner sits just blocks from Stanton Park, Union Station, the U. S. Capitol, and Union Market. The residence makes a memorable architectural statement from every angle. Expansive projecting bays, ornate masonry details, slate turret rooflines, and preserved original finials celebrate the artistry of the Victorian era. Dramatic side porch and cross-cut stairs evoke a sense of old Savannah. If walls could talk, the stories she would...At the convenient center of Historic Capitol Hill, this commanding corner sits just blocks from Stanton Park, Union Station, the U. S. Capitol, and Union Market. The residence makes a memorable architectural statement from every angle. Expansive projecting bays, ornate masonry details, slate turret rooflines, and preserved original finials celebrate the artistry of the Victorian era. Dramatic side porch and cross-cut stairs evoke a sense of old Savannah. If walls could talk, the stories she would tell! Inside, the master craftsmen of Schmidt Development have completely rebuilt the residence with all-new floors, walls, windows, wiring, plumbing, and state-of-the-art systems. The work leverages new technologies, but remains firmly rooted in tradition: Hand-crafted plaster walls, white oak floors, solid brass hardware, and Amish-made hardwood cabinets bring natural texture and enduring quality throughout. On the main level, grand central staircase is book-ended by dramatic living/dining room in the East wing and fully custom eat-in kitchen on the West. Upstairs, two private bedroom+bathroom suites each feature a full bath and walk-in closet, with convenient upper-level laundry close at hand. Below, another bedroom and bath alongside spacious den/library for entertaining, guests, home office, or extended stays. Outside, wrap-around gardens gently embrace the home, and lead to brick garden walls and intimate patio for quiet mornings or sunset cocktails. Inspired by the graceful notes of New Orleans, Paris, or Charleston, the home and its parts display diplomatic discretion and foreign-service sophistication to deliver a property that is distinctly Washingtonian.
