A rare and exciting gem, this semi-detached historic property on an extra wide lot is ideally located within a few minutes of Eastern Market, the U. S. Capitol, Lincoln Park, and the city’s finest cultural and culinary institutions. This historic home with 2,676 finished square feet (1,080 unfinished in basement) includes expansive fenced grounds, plus a very large, separate 1 bedroom Carriage House loft with 1,045 finished square feet, and a coveted garage. Possible surface parking by removing the back gate next to the garage. The main house consists of an open contemporary living space, soaring ceilings, and a wood-burning fireplace, a perfect environment for large-scale entertaining. A bright and large gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, a Viking 6-burner stove, and attractive limestone flooring is any cook's wish come true. A convenient 1/2 bath completes the first level. The two upper levels include four spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms. The lower-level basement is excellent for hard-to-find spacious storage. This property awaits your personal touches, is sold as is, and pre-inspections are welcome.
