Rare opportunity to own a piece of history in the Argyle House on Embassy Row. Designed by Library of Congress architect Paul J. Pelz and built in 1900, this mansion and accompanying carriage house were converted into nine condos in 1985. The home’s private patio and garden, with three fountains, are part of what make it truly special– a hidden oasis that wraps around the entire length of the building. Also featured is the home’s private entrance with an antique wrought iron gate that leads into an additional private outdoor space. Upon entering the unit itself, you are greeted by a number of striking architectural features, including a wood burning fireplace, graceful classic cornice molding, French doors and high ceilings. Other features include gleaming hardwood floors throughout, recessed lighting, a washer/dryer, low condo fees and ample street parking. The home is flooded with natural light and lined with windows boasting stunning views of the garden. The library beyond the living room serves as an office or second bedroom with built-in shelving, desk and one of two sets of French doors leading to the patio. The accompanying bathroom has a shower/bathtub and intricate basketweave tile. The larger primary bedroom is configured as an ensuite with a linen closet and second bathroom with jacuzzi bathtub. Located across from the Cosmos Club, walkable to Dupont Metro, shops, restaurants, and museums, the Argyle House is an incredibly special building that can’t be missed. There isn’t anything like it in Kalorama– this is the home you have been waiting for! Seller is requesting to review any offers on Monday May 2nd at 4 pm.
