Property Description

This is a special and highly authentic East Village brick Victorian. Its authenticity comes from the countless original details—floors, moldings, fireplaces, and windows—carefully preserved throughout. Its distinctiveness begins with the façade, a prime example of high Victorian architecture, and part of a unique row of Georgetown houses unlike any others in the village. Inside, the house has been thoughtfully and expertly adapted for today’s lifestyle.
