A Sandstone Rowhouse in Strivers' Section 

In some ways, this 1,800 square-foot rowhouse offers a slice of history, with its ties to renowned orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and its place in DC's Strivers' Section, once an enclave for middle- and upper-class Black families around the turn of the 20th century. The interior, renovated by interior designer Ernesto Santalla, is very  contemporary, earning the property a feature in Dwell magazine. An L-shaped kitchen sits at the back of the main level and has lacquered stacked cabinetry that conceals the fridge; a dining and seating area are along the opposite wall. On the second level, a sitting room fits into the bay window at the front, while the owner's bedroom suite has a glass pane door which opens up to a juliet balcony between similarly-sized windows. The house also has a garage door-accessible rear parking pad.

The main level bedroom also has a walk-in closet and a marble-walled shower stall. The house enjoys a private roof deck a step above a turf area.
