Historic, Victorian-era Fire House!
Historic, Victorian-era Fire House!
We guess it all boils down to whether you want to be able to say you live at the police station or the fire house. Just down the street from each other on Capitol Hill, each of these Victorian historical beauties has been turned into great urban lofts by the same developer, who preserved the exteriors and designed the interiors with panache that accents today's lifestyle.
If you love exposed old brick, and who doesn't, you'll be happy to see it in the accent walls of your new loft that pays homage to the building's history. These homes are filled with light from the huge Victorian windows and have crispness of line and all the granite and stainless you expect. When it was possible to achieve during renovation, you may see some of the original old beams exposed. You will also find a Whirlpool tub, fixed glass wall shower and a stackable washer and dryer. We love the large airy rooms, the massive windows and the pretty wrought iron fences and gates, all keeping with the period. The developer, who also leans to the green side, has been careful to use green features in replacements and energy efficiency. All wiring is new for the latest technology to propel your toys and work tools, and we can't think of anything you could possibly be without.
Capitol Hill is not only the oldest neighborhood and closest to the Capitol itself, but is also close to all the entertainment venues of H Street. H Street, having been heavily damaged during the 1968 riots, is now coming back into its own with restaurants, traditional and experimental theatre and enough to keep you from ever running out of things to do and enjoy. Perfect for the young professional.
Only 2 left! Hurry and get yours while you can! New urban lofts from $700s.
