Newly
furnished - This is the largest and most unique
apartment CHS has.This apartment was totally renovated
two years ago and was used as the CHS owner's residence. The
kitchen and bath facilities are well beyond what a typical
apartment usually offers. It is the second and third floors
of a historically protected pitched-roof building built in
the 1860s. As such, there are some unusual aspects. The front
stairway to the main floor of the apartment is original and
is fairly steep, so this apartment may not be suitable for
those with limited mobility. The building has the original
pitched rooflines, so both bedroom ceilings slope to one end,
creating an unusual cozy feel. There are other unusual designer
touches, such as the specialty wrought iron stairwell railing
and exposed wood beams. This apartment has a private roof
deck with stairs to a landscaped, fenced backyard and patio.

- High
end kitchen with GE Profile appliances (side-by-side
refrigerator with icemaker, electric convection oven

This
is a two-level top floor apartment, surrounded by a brand
new $50,000 landscaping job, including Pennsylvania bluestone
patios and walkways, extensive plantings maintained by the
owner, specialty wrought iron fencing, and a private bluestone
patio directly in front of the apartment. Apartment has a
beautiful view of a very tranquil streetscape. It has an East
and North exposure, with a dozen windows, so it gets a lot
of light.
This
property is an 1860s semi-detached property. This is a large
apartment, with a lot of charm. Like most Capitol Hill structures
built in the 1860s, it is a charming but modestly designed
structure. It's more of a farmhouse than a highly ornate Victorian
structure.
This
is the largest apartment CHS currently offers. Downstairs
(actually the second floor of the building) is the kitchen,
separate dining area, and living room, plus a large private
roofdeck directly off the dining area. Upstairs is the main
master bedroom, a separate office, and bath.

apartment has just been renovated to include a brand new kitchen
and bath. New kitchen has new maple cabinets, granite countertops,
full-size new appliances including dishwasher, and Brazilian
