Property Description
Step into a timeless gem that beautifully marries the grace and majesty of its 1880 origins with modern comforts, nestled in the heart of the vibrant Shaw neighborhood.

From the moment you enter, the character of this home envelops you. With original details such as pocket doors, two working fireplaces, hardwood floors and crown molding, every corner of this home whispers of its storied past. The owners have lovingly restored and preserved its charm, accentuating the original design with thoughtful updates like two fully renovated bathrooms and an updated kitchen, restored antique doors, and elegant new light fixtures throughout. The location is as enchanting as the home itself. Enjoy the walkability that Shaw offers, with the Shaw Metro Stop, and local favorites like Dachas, Compass Coffee, Big Bear Cafe, the Bloomingdale Farmers Market, and The Royal just steps away.
