You'll feel like you're in Paris when you walk into this beautiful Capitol Hill condo. Registered as a National Landmark, this property was built in the 1890s for John E Sterns, and known as the Sterns Mansion, one of the few surviving works by architect Harry T.E. Wendell; and believed at that time as being a very unique residence ahead of its day. The charm is everywhere, from the lavish crown molding, to the original built-ins, to the intricate banisters and hardware, as well as the hardwood floors and French door onto the private balcony. Boosting 11-foot ceilings, the grand foyer leads into the intimate dining room with original pocket door and gas fireplace with stately mantle. The sun-filled living room is generous yet cozy with a second gas fireplace and is open to the updated kitchen with stainless appliances, new tile floor and balcony access. The master bedroom is also quite large and charming and offers a walk-in closet with original built-in dresser and full-size laundry. The five-piece main floor bath has beautiful marble throughout. Upstairs the second en suite bedroom has skylights and a secret, hidden room/closet behind the bookcase. Two garage parking spaces complete the package. This bit of history can be yours, with an ideal location all the bars and restaurants Capitol Hill and Governor's Park have to offer, and downtown just a few minutes away.
