Greece or Capitol Hill?

The image of the pool above may have many readers thinking of the Mediterranean. However, the pool and architecture reminiscent of a Greek island are actually part of a two-bedroom listing that just hit the market off East Capitol Street. The aesthetic continues inside with terra cotta floor tiles, a number of open light filled spaces and arches for many of the home's balconies. It is the first time that the home has been on the market in almost 20 years.
