Exterior / Around the corner from the famed Marine Barracks, this front facade of this handsome 1922 Victorian feels humble, dignified, and classic. Weekdays might call for a bagel from Call Your Mother or dinner at Rose’s Luxury around the corner, while weekend mornings spent strolling Eastern Market would feel perfectly justified.
Entry / the west-facing living rooms gleams in afternoon light, and in the summertime, the sound of the Marine Corp band practicing for their celebrated evening show fills the room. With wood floors, a fireplace, and a built-in bookcase, the room’s proportions feel generous and balanced, a perfect greeting to a home that leads with subtle sophistication.
The kitchen & dining room / Past a hall bathroom drenched in Farrow & Ball, a well-appointed kitchen leads to a luminous dining room, outfitted with pleated pendant lights. The dining room opens up directly into a spacious outdoor garden, which brims in jasmine during the spring.
Primary suite / Upstairs, the primary bedroom distinguishes itself by its scale, light, and a serene sumptuousness. With its own full bathroom and large historic windows tucked behind a willow tree, the space glistens morning, noon, & night.
Upstairs bedrooms / The two additional bedrooms are thoughtful companions to the primary suite, each with its distinct character. They share the second full bathroom, outfitted with a marble-topped, burlwood vanity. One room was used as an office, the other as a nursery.
