A Piece of LeDroit History Goes From House to Home

Featured just last week, this Queen Ann Victorian is one of the first detached homes built in LeDroit Park and is one of the most eye-catching houses on Anna Cooper Circle, with a distinct buttermilk color and stained glass windows. The grand interior is 4,300 square feet over four floors and retains a lot of its original charm, from the uneven vaulted ceiling and exposed posts in the attic to the two-bedroom in-law suite in the basement. The huge chef’s kitchen has multiple islands, a built-in window seat, tin-press ceiling and a breakfast nook with U-shaped eating area. The house found a buyer in under a week.

This mid-century modern Michigan Park house boasts an impressive history of its own, as a rare example of an International style residence designed by noteworthy local architect Louis Giles, Jr. The interior hews largely to its original design, with 18-foot ceilings and multiple living levels within the main floor.

Below Asking for Above-Average Views of the Potomac

This six-bedroom, 6,000 square-foot home sits on Potomac Avenue in the Palisades, enjoying unparalleled views of the Potomac River.

The home saw its listing price reduced to $2.2 million before it went under contract.
