Open House: Saturday, April 13, from 1-3pm
Logan Circle Grande Dame!
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved 1888 Queen Anne rowhome, complete with remarkable period details and a legal one-bedroom basement rental. As you approach, a high iron staircase leads to the dramatic arched entry and angled tile vestibule, reflecting the unique orientation of the house to the diagonal street grid of Rhode Island Avenue. The round tower, extending from the English basement to the third floor, showcases exquisite brickwork and is crowned with diamond-shaped terra cotta tiles on the mansard roof, adding to the home’s architectural charm.
Step through the intricately carved original double doors into a residence filled with period details, including soaring ceilings, stunning crown moldings, ornamental plaster-work, and original 19th-century red pine flooring that flows throughout all three levels. The parlor floor features an elegant formal living room with a delicately carved mantle, inset mirror, hand-glazed tile surrounding the wood-burning fireplace, and stained glass windows in the round front bay. The dining room, adorned with period-inspired William Morris wallpaper and a hidden pocket door, adds to the home’s unique character. The updated kitchen at the rear of the home offers classic Shaker style cabinetry, granite countertops, and new stainless steel appliances.
Ascend the intricately carved staircase to discover the gracious primary suite, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, elegant mantle, and built-in bookshelves. The south-facing circular bay continues here as well, giving the room a majestic feel, while the large attached bath features a massive shower, dual sinks, and a wall of closets. An adjacent bedroom with another wood-burning fireplace completes the second floor, providing the option for a private study or TV room for a full-floor primary suite.
The top floor features another large bedroom with treetop views from the south-facing windows and an additional full bathroom. The fourth bedroom can also double as an office with direct access to the private roof deck.
This is your chance to own a piece of history while enjoying modern updates and incredible architectural details.
