Sold! Circa 1892 Brick Italianate Sold in VA

Brick Italianate Sold! History and sophistication meet here. Noted preservationist Mary Wingfield Scott first restored this 2,463 sf Italianate gem in the late ’70s and decades of dedicated owners have only improved upon her efforts since. Each has added their own touch but all have had a fine eye for the details that make this house so appealing. Among those improvements outside are a two-car, brick garage, landscaped terraces and wrought iron fencing, while inside a chef’s kitchen, gas fireplaces and a marble bath off the primary bedroom were incorporated without sacrificing any of the extensive original fabric. A second bedroom and large walk-in closet are on the second floor. The English basement, once designed to be a separate unit with front and garden entrances, could make a fine in-law suite or home office. Bracketed by brick sidewalks in front and a cobblestone alley in the rear, the house shares the skyline views in this block with some of the St. John’s District’s most distinctive homes. – Per Realtor
