Wake up rejuvenated in our stunning home in the center of the historic Shaw neighborhood. Exquisitely and lovingly designed with no expense spared or detail missed. Movie star glamour combined with D.C. history; this is quite the location for your DC stay. Beautiful high ceilings, an open-plan living area, and an unbelievable location!

The Space
Mid century meets Hollywood glam in our stunning, fully renovated, historic home. Originally built in 1888 by premiere architect Julius Germuller (known for intricate stone-work in the iconic DC Rowhouses), guests can experience a charm and history completely unique to anything else. 

We can comfortably sleep 10 guests in 2 bedrooms with 2 bathrooms as follows;
~ Sofa bed in the family room
~ King sized bed and full/double sized sofa bed in the master bedroom
~ Queen sized bed and full / double sized sofa bed in the second bedroom

Guests can turn the key, and enter a spacious living room with furniture boasting warm hues and the softest luxurious fabrics - perfect for slinking back after a long day of enjoying the city resting outside your door. With original artwork, carefully selected reading materials and decor; this is quite the spot to unwind - you may not want to leave!

Three TV`s (living room, and one in each bedroom) come outfitted with smart streaming & cable; allowing guests who can`t sleep without their favorite programs, the opportunity to stream to their heart`s content (perfect for those traveling with families).

The fully renovated kitchen comes complete with everything one might need to cook up a storm. The veritable heart of the home overlooks the hustle and bustle of the city via an expansive bay window, and includes all new appliances, breakfast bar seating, and a lovely wraparound bench. Mosey over to the dining table by the living room bay window for a change of scenery, and an interactive space where folks can dine, unwind, and relax. 
 
The master suite boasts a king sized canopy bed, which adds shimmering style to the space. With a queen sized sofa bed in the same room, it is both comfortable and functional. Enjoy the en-suite bathroom with two rain shower heads - THE way to start the day!

There`s a washer/dryer for your convenience and a laptop friendly workspace between the bedrooms, that overlooks the street for some good people watching.

The second bedroom has a queen bed and also has a pull-out sofa to sleep little ones, or an additional guest. Much like the kitchen; the second bedroom boasts views from every angle through its wall of windows (but shades are included for additional privacy). 

Guests will have complete control of the space - from the temperature, to cable TV, to an intercom system - making this lovely space your perfect home base for your trip to the nation`s capital. For a breath of fresh air, just pop out front to relax with a cup of coffee or glass of wine in the wicker rocking chairs that overlook the hustle and bustle of the city-scape. 

Our historic home is more than just a place to live; it’s a living history that you can be a part of!
