There are also several extra spaces: the lower level is finished with another kitchen, and out back is a studio or guest house, as well as a deck, a flagstone patio, a vegetable garden and a large yard.

Dupont Circle Rowhouse Renovated in a Contemporary Style

   I didn't know that Dupont Circle had houses built in the year 895. It has to be one of the oldest standing houses in the world.
