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

Even with the changes, the home still has some historic flair, like dark wood around doors, windows and four fireplaces. The lower level has a rentable one-bedroom unit.
