Open House is canceled. Philadelphia Row House. Shortly after the Civil War, Charles Gessford built a row of townhouses to help his homesick wife remember her native Philadelphia. In the century and a half since then, this stately grande dame has stood guard with her sisters over one of Capitol Hill’s most historic blocks. This dignified and beautiful home is steps to Lincoln Park, restaurants, and the Historic Eastern Market, Metro station. Wide foyer entrance to a spacious living room with built-in shelves, wood floor, and a wood-burning fireplace. Continuing to a powder room, dining room, and a farm-size kitchen with European flair: wood floor, fireplace, granite countertops, stainless steel stove and appliances, super-size transom, and vaulted ceiling with skylights. The deep yard leads to a two-car garage with additional storage. Wide alley with potential for ADU above garage. Upper floors feature three large bedrooms, each with its own refurbished bathroom. The primary bedroom has a walk in-closet. Below the main level is a large unfinished basement with a new washer, dryer, and lots of space to let your imagination run wild. Wood floors, two fireplaces, two-zone AC (second zone is new), new washer and dryer, 3.5 baths, rented solar panels.
