Inside-Out Theatrical Design in Dupont Circle

Previously owned by late theater photographer George De Vincent, this Victorian rowhouse in Dupont Circle has an interior as dramatic as the concrete arch framing its double front door. Past the tiled-floor vestibule, a double-height great room has an accent wall that evokes an alley exterior with exposed brick surrounding windows. The family room/dining room has a step-up seating nook with stacked windows, and the L-shaped farmhouse kitchen has double sinks converging at the corner. Upstairs, two bedrooms share a bath that seems carved out of stone, with a glazed breezeway and a curved rectangular window. Past glass doors on the uppermost level, the owner's bedroom has a bay window, a step-up dressing area, and access to a private terrace. The house also has a two-car parking pad and a carpeted lower level.

Turn of the Century in Hyattsville

Past the pillared front porch, this spacious late 19th-century Hyattsville house has reclaimed hardwood floors and original windows, and the main level hallway has recessed shelving in a decorative door frame beneath a transom window.

The kitchen has dual-entry beneath two stained glass transoms, and is open to the living room, each with skylights.
