Welcome to 1441 Manchester Lane NW in DC’s sought-after 16th Street Heights, a distinguished residence that echoes the rich tapestry of Washington, DC’s architectural history. Built in 1937 by the renowned architect Lewis W. Giles for Isadore Katz, an attorney for the American Federation of Labor, this home stands as a testament to timeless elegance and true craftsmanship.
This deceptively spacious English Tudor home offers an expansive 3,816 square feet of refined living space, nestled on a generous 7,179 square foot lot. With five bedrooms and four full bathrooms, it artfully combines historic charm with modern luxury.

This level also includes a large storage/utility room and a separate laundry room, ensuring ample space and convenience. Outside you will find a fully fenced in professionally landscaped back yard with new deck, a vegetable/flower garden and a large double car garage.
