    What the owner loves about this home
    I love my 1893 row house at 2005 Columbia Rd NW, Washington, DC 20009, for its unparalleled Victorian architecture—a rarity that modern homes can’t replicate. This 5,377-square-foot Kalorama gem, with 12 en-suite bedrooms, most featuring exquisite fireplaces, captivates with hand-carved moldings, soaring ceilings, and rich hardwood floors. These intricate details, lovingly preserved, make it a unique treasure, impossible to find in today’s construction. Currently a 12-room bed and breakfast, its transient rooming house zoning allows it to shine as a stately single-family home or a thriving rental property. What makes it special? The warm glow of fireplaces, the elegance of its grand dining room, and the cozy lounge that feels like a step back in time. Living in Kalorama, between Adams Morgan’s eclectic vibe and Dupont Circle’s sophistication, offers an unmatched lifestyle—steps from Dupont Circle Metro, vibrant eateries, the National Zoo, and 1 mile from the White House. This walker’s paradise (walkability score: 93/100) blends urban energy with historic charm.
