Brick Walls and Wood Panels on Linden Place

This three-story Victorian rowhouse about a half-block off the H Street Corridor has exposed brick walls in every room throughout the house, running along the main floor and creating accent walls in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The open main floor enjoys light from both the square bay window at the front and two sets of French doors at the rear. Wood paneling provides contrast to the brick, with a wood-slatted stairwell, wood-paneled cabinetry in the kitchen and wood-paneled closet doors in the bedrooms. The home is not short on energy-efficiency as it comes with a green roof.

Hardwoods are throughout the main level; the next floor is down a flight of stairs, where the living room and two bedrooms have cork flooring. Down another flight on the basement level is a bamboo-floored in-law suite with kitchenette and a bedroom that opens onto a sunroom.
