House of the Day

I like the brickwork and the steps up top on this one from Columbia Heights.

I know these are a little bit beat up but what I can I say? I love carriage houses. I also think it’s interesting to compare the two. Note the two bay doors on the one on the left. I wonder if that’s how they originally looked?

This Capitol Hill house has great details:

And some serious hedges:

This house in Shaw on 9th St, NW was really fixed up nicely. And it’s another good example of how good flower boxes can look:

I love the third level porch here. It is really very rare among row houses I’ve seen. This one is from Shaw.

What do you think – do you like the third floor balcony or would you rather have it as living space?

Oh yeah, I also dig the window that sticks out in the alley (see below):

House 1

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some carriage houses. These are from Capitol Hill.

Ed. Note: I’m also going through some vestibule withdrawal so if anyone has a good looking vestibule they’d be willing to share please send some pics to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com

House 2

Well I’ve run out of cool “double houses” for this week so please accept the last two notable row houses I spotted from the Burleith/Georgetown area.

Continuing this week’s theme of double houses comes a super modern pair from Georgetown/Burleith. The one on the right was a former house porn GDoN post almost exactly a year ago. For the curious it sold for $1,850,000.

After the jump close ups of each side. (more…)

Since I showed a cool double house yesterday, I wanted to share this one which is older style but still an equally cool double house. This one is from Cleveland Park and a couple of houses down is this super fresh porch.
