Soaring 12-foot ceilings, hardwood floors and stairs, extensive millwork, ceiling medallions, period hardware, and abundant natural light create a sophisticated interior rich in authentic character. Seven fireplaces—one in each principal room—bring warmth and architectural interest throughout. The spacious kitchen offers generous room for cooking and gathering, while every bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and its own fireplace. The lower level provides excellent versatility as a family room, guest suite, home office, or fourth bedroom. Outside, a generous private patio creates an inviting retreat for dining, entertaining, or relaxing. **Known collectively as Wheat Row, these four brick rowhouses are among the oldest surviving residences in Washington, DC. Named for local tavern owner John Wheat, they were developed by James Greenleaf and likely designed by architect William Lovering. One of the few groups of homes spared during the neighborhood’s extensive redevelopment, Wheat Row remains an enduring connection to the city’s earliest years and its remarkable evolution. The neighborhood was also featured on PBS’s If You Lived Here.**. Rarely does a home offer this combination of architectural character, substantial living space, an elevator, private outdoor space, exceptional community amenities, and one of Southwest DC’s most exciting and convenient locations.
