128 11TH ST SE Washington, DC 20003

Open House Cancelled. Under Contract! Welcome to 128 11th St SE, a truly unique & historic "Philadelphia Row" in the heart of Capitol Hill. With 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, this four-level home is sure to impress at every turn with its historical architectural design and grand size with over 3,100 sq feet. It even has a 2 garage! "Philadelphia Row" was designed post-Civil War by the renowned builder, Charles Gessford. The story goes that Gessford built the row houses for his Philadelphia-native wife to aid with her homesickness as they lived across the street on the 100 block of 11th St SE. Thus creating Philadelphia Row! The row of homes provokes a sense of awe with their stately cohesiveness. Just past the iron fence, steps lead to the historically accurate wood doors and into the foyer. The formal living room feels like you are stepping back in time with ornate details including gorgeous crown molding in the likeness of wheat and an elegant chandelier with ceiling medallion. The wood burning fireplace and mantel provide a focal point of the room. The high ceilings, wood floors and plantation shutters showcased in the living room are throughout the home. The traditional floor plan has been kept intact including the curved staircase. Down the hall is the formal dining room featuring a decorative fireplace with built-in credenzas on either side and chandelier with a ceiling medallion. The dog-leg allows for the room to be bathed in natural light from the two large windows. The kitchen has new tile flooring and boasts two wall ovens, a six-burner cooktop and new fridge. While the kitchen is move-in ready, it awaits to be remodeled to suit your own needs. Off the kitchen is a breakfast nook with French doors that lead to the perfectly shaded backyard with a bricked patio, shady mature trees and a secret garden feel.
