This Regency-style townhouse is in Sheridan Kalorama, a neighborhood well-known for welcoming presidents, diplomats, and dignitaries into its community. The home is ideally situated among numerous attractive houses and makes its own contribution to the District's most historically and architecturally significant neighborhood. The residence was built in 1924 as one of a row of five Regency-style townhomes. It has undergone an extensive renovation designed and overseen by renowned architect Thorndike Williams. No detail was overlooked in the meticulous rebuilding that seamlessly integrates beautiful modern updates, including an elevator, with the home's historic character and charm. The stunning residence features a striking pedimented brick facade with elegant limestone details and a large central window. There are nine-foot ceilings throughout.
