An Ornate Columbia Heights Seven-Bedroom

The limestone façade and carved pillars framing the front door of this turn-of-the-century seven-bedroom Victorian hint at its elaborate interior. Ornate oak molding, ceiling medallions and kaleidoscopic ceiling wallpaper appoint much of the main level. The foyer/hall houses the paneled wood stairwell, and sets of pocket doors on either side of the hall conceal the living room and formal dining room. The owners bedroom occupies the entire second floor, boasting a sitting room with bay window, a fireplace between built-in units, two custom walk-in closets and an angular dressing room. And by the way — the house also has a separately metered (and currently rented) three bedroom, two bathroom English basement unit with two private entrances.
