About This Home

As of March 2021

In 1893 prolific architect/developer Charles Gessford delivered masterpieces of carved limestone, ornate pressed-brick, and carefully crafted interiors. The most recent sale of a Gessford original on East Capitol fetched $2.6MM this Summer, but you can now call some of the same features your own for a far more reasonable sum! At this proud brownstone at 10th & Independence steps from Eastern Market savor two sets of original oak doors, carved soapstone foyer, wide-open double-parlor and wood-burning hearth. Heart pine floors feature traditional French Wax treatment, and bold lighting fixtures highlight tall ceilings leading to modern renovated kitchen and sunny South-facing mud-room. Elegant wood casework to sky-lit upper level featuring 3 SPACIOUS BRs with original doors and transoms. Gorgeous built-in mirrored armoire and arched sleeping alcove. Exposed brick walls and BIG marble hall bath. Flexible den or guest suite at LL with separate rear entry, large updated bath and second access to rear laundry + storage. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to own a TRUE classic! OPEN SATURDAY+SUNDAY 2-4PM or call us for private showing appointment.
