This Tenleytown cottage was originally built in 1875 on the grounds of the old Naval Observatory before reportedly being pulled by a team of horses to its present location in 1890. The three-bedroom home was renovated two years ago, and standout features include a wraparound front porch, a large back patio, and a renovated kitchen with a tin ceiling, butcher block island, exposed brick, and a gas stove. The three bedrooms are all upstairs, along with a large, private balcony overlooking the backyard.
