464 Besserer St

Seated on a rare 50 x 99ft lot in Sandy Hill, this historic home was designed by renowned architect David Ewart. Built-in 1873, much of its original character has been preserved: the french doors, oak flooring, crown molding & ceiling medallions. The original front door opens to an ornate staircase & grand drawing-room. A cozy library with built-in shelves & a charming fireplace is tucked away off of the living room. Doors to the backyard off the dining room & kitchen create an indoor-outdoor flow for entertaining. The kitchen combines historic style with modern conveniences and includes a butcher block island & butler?s corner. Up the stairs is a demi-niveau with a private bed & bath. The second level has three bedrooms & a full bath. A rarity for the area is its spacious south-facing backyard. ByWard Market & Parliament Hill are a short walk away. No conveyance of any written signed offers prior to Tuesday, March 9th at 12:00PM.
