About This Home

A Timeless Washington Treasure--Where Historic Elegance Meets Modern Comfort. Step into a piece of Washington's rich history with this exceptional 1920s residence, ideally positioned within the Historic Washington Business District. Thoughtfully updated while beautifully preserving its original character, this approximately 2,500-square-foot home offers a rare combination of architectural charm, generous proportions, and an enviable downtown lifestyle.

From the moment you enter, you'll appreciate the home's soaring ceilings, exquisite trim work, and timeless craftsmanship--details that speak to an era when homes were built with elegance and intention. The spacious floor plan offers three bedrooms and two full baths, providing ample room for gracious everyday living or memorable weekends on the waterfront.

Modern improvements, including updated electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, provide peace of mind while allowing the home's historic beauty to remain the centerpiece.

The possibilities extend beyond a private residence. With its remarkable location and flexible layout, this property could be an exceptional luxury short-term rental, boutique Airbnb, or potentially a dual-rental opportunity, making it equally appealing to those seeking a distinctive home or an investment with character.

And then there is the location--approximately a five-minute stroll from Washington's waterfront, restaurants, boutiques, and downtown attractions. Located within the 25 MPH zone, residents can also enjoy the convenience of golf cart access to the waterfront area with the required permit.

Adding even more versatility is a below-grade concrete-floor room offering abundant storage and the potential for a wonderfully unique wine cellar, workshop, hobby space, or private hangout.

Homes with this level of historic character, scale, and location are truly special. Experience the charm of another era, the convenience of today, and the endless possibilities of owning a distinguished piece of Washington's history.
