Description
Built in 1887 by architect and builder A. Bryant, this late-Victorian residence has carried its original character through nearly 140 years, and it comes with a rare advantage in today's market: a 2.25% fixed-rate assumable VA mortgage available to qualified buyers. The pressed-brick facade, crowned by an elaborate corralled cornice that draws the eye skyward. Graceful arched brick hoods frame each window, while ornamental rosette and dentil bands and finely detailed stringcourses add depth and rhythm across the front. Step inside and the sense of scale continues, with soaring ceilings that fill the rooms with light from three exposures. Anchoring the front parlor and primary bedroom are two 19th-century Carrara marble mantels, chosen to complement the scale of these rooms and evoke the grandeur the home would have known in the 1880s. Salvaged from a period New York City townhouse, they were brought to Washington, carefully restored, and installed using traditional methods. The parlor mantel retains all of its original stone, and both keep their original cast-iron surrounds and summer covers from 19th-century New York foundries. Hand-selected by the founder of Mantel House, the mantels bring the patina and provenance of authentic 19th-century pieces, giving the house focal points worthy of its architecture. On the top floor, you'll find generously sized bedrooms, laundry, and two full bathrooms, while the lower level offers a perfect in-law suite or home office with bonus kitchen and full bathroom. A sprawling rear yard and two-car parking top the list of perks - the outdoor space is the perfect blank slate for a green-thumbed owner. This home delivers on curated style, scale, and proximity to the best of the city. Discover your next chapter at 820 7th St NE.
